Council owed up to €116m for provision of emergency ambulance services by Dublin Fire Brigade
At a recent meeting of the Regional Health Forum for Dublin and the North East, a presentation was given by Robert Morton, the director of the HSE’s NAS, on what it owes to the council. He added that Minister for Housing Darragh O’Brien and Minister for Health Stephen Donnelly have agreed to establish a taskforce on the matter.
Mr Morton told the forum that Dublin still does not have a single integrated control centre for 999 emergency ambulance calls. The NAS director explained that a review of ambulance services in Ireland conducted 30 years ago in 1993 identified a series of issues relating to the duplication of ambulance services in the Dublin area.
Fianna Fáil councillor Deirdre Heney and Independent councillor Christy Burke raised their concerns over the spiralling debt.
