Ambulance whistleblower expects backlash from HSE chiefs

An ambulance service whistleblower who appeared on RTÉ’s Prime Time show on call-out delays expects the HSE to act against her.

Shirley McEntee, an ambulance controller in Limerick, said: “I am not going to get away with this free, at all. No, definitely not.”

She said ambulance crews in the Mid-West were “run ragged” and “going without food for hours” trying to respond to patients, because of a lack of ambulances.
