1092. To ask the Minister for Health ; why a policy of the National Ambulance Service is not applied to Roscommon, in terms of advanced paramedic cover on the rapid response vehicle, where there are full-time, permanent advanced paramedics in operation in the HSE Mid-West (closure of Nenagh and Ennis) and no such cover in Roscommon, where the emergency department also closed; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

I propose to take Questions Nos. 1091 and 1092 together.

As these are service matters, I have asked the Health Service Executive (HSE) to respond to the Deputy directly, as soon as possible.
