Hiqa review: Ambulance service resources are too low

The ambulance services in Ireland need more resources if target response times are to be met, a review by the health watchdog has found.

In 2014 the Health Information and Quality Authority carried out a review of what it described as “prehospital emergency care” — focusing on ambulance services in particular.

In March, it published its review of the progress the ambulance services has made in implementing Hiqa’s recommendations.
