HSE provides inadequate level of funding to run Dublin’s ambulance service city council chief executive says

For more than a decade the HSE has contributed just over €9 million to the service, a sum which Mr Keegan said has not increased despite the increasing costs of running the ambulances.

The ambulance service in Dublin faces major challenges and will require significant additional funding over the coming years Last year the HSE agreed to implement the recommendations of a mediation process aimed at resolving the funding issues, Mr Keegan said, but “the HSE subsequently withdrew its agreement”.

However, he said: “The ambulance service in Dublin faces major challenges and will require significant additional funding over the coming years.”makes a financial contribution to the council towards the costs of the equivalent of 105 full-time staff for the provision of 11 emergency ambulances on a 24/7 basis.
