Co Cork GPs urged to support action on ambulances

Councillors want to enlist the support of GPs working in a part of Co Cork in an effort to force the National Ambulance Service (NAS) to provide better emergency cover for the local population.

They expressed anger at a letter they received from NAS to a previous request for an improved emergency service to cover Cobh and the Great Island areas.

Last December, members of the county council’s Cobh/Glanmire municipal district sent a letter to NAS asking a number of questions about the lack of cover for the Great Island area.
