An interesting article, written by Mr Chris McNulty, and published by the Donegal Daily yesterday, (dated September 28th 2021).
The article claimed that an ambulance was “tasked” from Co. Donegal, to answer a call in Co. Tipperary recently; latter distance at least some 326km (203 mls) via the N17 with a normal driving time of some four hours.
The matter was raised by county counsellor Mr Jerry Crawford at the Regional Health Forum West yesterday, prompting serious questions about the dispatching of ambulances.
The Porthall, East Co. Donegal based counsellor has now asked for an urgent meeting between Ambulance Management and Forum Members, to address his concerns on this issue.
“I have reason to believe, and I will leave it as ‘reason to believe’, that on a recent occasion, a Donegal ambulance was tasked to Tipperary” counsellor Crawford was quoted as stating.
The Health Information & Quality Authority (HIQA) has found poor practice in parts of the country, including South Tipperary, in relation to visits by social workers to children placed within foster care.
HIQA has stated that two thirds of the files in South Tipperary, Kilkenny, and Carlow did not contain evidence of visits in line with current, laid-down and necessary regulations.
Ms Eva Boyle (latter chief of children’s services at HIQA), stated that some of those in care did not get sufficient visits. For some children in short-term care visits are required every three months. For other children visits are required every six months.
All stated areas, say they visited children in line with stated regulations, but HIQA’s findings claim that for the two years prior to their own inspection, none of the areas fully complied with necessary regulations and requirement.
