Deputy Michael D’Arcy asked the Minister for Health and Children when the review being carried out by the National Ambulance Service will be concluded; when the findings will be published; and the time schedule for any recommendations to be implemented. [23893/08]

  Deputy Mary Harney: Operational responsibility for the management and delivery of health and personal social services is a matter for the Health Service Executive and funding for all health services has been provided as part of its overall Vote. Therefore, the Executive is the appropriate body to consider the particular issue raised by the Deputy. My Department has requested the Parliamentary Affairs Division of the Executive to arrange to have the matter investigated and to have a reply issued directly to the Deputy.
