‘Mushroom-type fungus’ found multiple times in ambulance

Ambulance paramedics in Clare are refusing to drive an ambulance which had to be ‘deep cleaned’ three times in recent weeks due to a fungus infestation.

The 11 KE-registered Ford vehicle had been assigned to another station before being relocated to Ennis.

After its arrival at the National Ambulance Service base in Ennis, crews began to observe a large growth of fungus in one corner of the vehicle close to where the patient stretcher is located.
