What is the position with the review of the ambulance service that was promised in November? I highlighted that the training of paramedics and advanced paramedics is quite specialised. Why does the HSE expect paramedics to perform clerical duties and run budgets? I asked at the time for the separation of specialist work and administration duties, as has been done in the Garda. From what I have seen, there are more managers than there are drivers. When will we finally hold the HSE to account so we can have the paramedics and the ambulance service running an efficient service for people who need it and stop repeatedly installing managers and giving them cars when we need ambulances and paramedics?

I do not have an update on that report, but I will tell the Minister for Health, Deputy Stephen Donnelly, that the Deputy raised it and ask him to revert to the Deputy directly. We should acknowledge, however, that both the National Ambulance Service and Dublin Fire Brigade provide a very good service. It is a service that has improved in the last couple of years. Sometimes when management and administration staff are hired, it is precisely so paramedics are freed up from administrative work.
