Ambulance service cuts ‘will cause deaths’

A MOTHER whose daughter’s life was saved by a West Cork ambulance crew has backed a campaign fighting HSE plans to re-configure the service.

Emily O’Sullivan believes the only reason that her two-year-old is alive is because of the rapid response of the ambulance crew who rushed her from Skibbereen to Cork University Hospital (CUH).

“We believe if they had not got her to hospital so quickly we would not have her here with us today,” she said.
