HSE To Bolster Clare Ambulance Services
Published 2 weeks, 4 days ago
Description
It's claimed the people of west and north Clare are suffering due to a lack of access to emergency ambulance care
The local authority has called on the National Ambulance Service to provide additional rapid response vehicles to remote parts of the county.
In a correspondence issued to Clare TD Joe Cooney this week, the HSE has confirmed that additional 12 hour ambulance shifts will be rolled out in Ennistymon and Kilrush, while new Emergency Medical Technicians are set to be recruited in Ennis.
Lisdoonvarna Fine Gael Councillor Joe Garrihy says greater accessibility is key.
