Ambulance Service
Dail Éireann — 2021-07-01
============================================================

Éamon Ó Cuív (FF), Galway West

On 19 April 2021, a virtual meeting was held with the Oireachtas Members, the ambulance campaign group in Conamara and the National Ambulance Service, NAS. The clear understanding of everybody at the meeting is that a report was to be prepared on the optimum location of an ambulance waiting base that would be located centrally somewhere in Conamara.
On 13 May I tabled a parliamentary question which received a reply stating the matter was referred to the HSE and the NAS. I asked when the report on the optimum location would be available. I got the answer, tráthúil go maith, inniu. However, there is no answer. Nothing has happened. I was told that the National Ambulance Service is focused on improving service delivery and to this end an analysis of operational resources is currently planned. In other words, it has done nothing and nothing has changed. It is vital now that we get action, as agreed at the meeting, on this issue.
