Deputy Enda Kenny
asked the
Minister for Health and Children
if it is proposed to move the Health Service Executive ambulance control room from Castlebar, County Mayo to Ballyshannon, County Donegal; if there was a feasibility study conducted to establish the cost of such a move; the conditions that justify such a proposal; when the decision was made; and if she will make a statement on the matter.
[43169/09]
Minister for Health and Children (Deputy Mary Harney):
I believe it is important to ensure that all of our pre-hospital emergency services function as a high quality, integrated health service. The advice of the Health Information and Quality Authority on pre-hospital care issues will be a significant factor in determining how services should be organised so that clinical governance, patient safety and quality standards are met. As the specific question raised by the Deputy is a matter for the HSE, it has been referred to the Executive for direct reply.
