596. Deputy Noel Harrington asked the Minister for Health the number of staff employed in the National Ambulance Service; if he will provide a breakdown for each station by grade and the number of administrative and frontline staff at each station; if he will provide the same figures for 2005 and 2010, and the number of vacancies at each station at present, by grade; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

I have asked the HSE to respond to the Deputy directly on the matter. If you have not received a reply from the HSE within 15 working days please contact my Private Office and they will follow up the matter with them.
