THERE IS AN increasing demand for ambulances in Dublin that is currently outstripping existing capacity, TDs will hear tomorrow.

In their opening statement to the Committee, DFB will outline that current demand is “far in excess” of their existing capacity to meet their Hiqa performance standards. Keeley will also tell the committee that queuing is now “systemic” within Dublin’s ambulance system, where ambulances or fire engines are not immediately available to respond to incidents.“When a resource is not available, an incident is placed on a queue until a resource becomes available to respond. Queuing of incidents is now systemic with over 80% of incidents placed on the queue during peak hours,” Keeley will tell TDs.
