Motion

Ambulance Waiting Times

Ambulance Waiting Times
That this Assembly expresses grave concern at the pressure facing the Northern Ireland Ambulance Service (Ambulance Service) and the impact on patients with life-threatening or emergency health needs; further expresses severe concern that response time targets for categories one, two and three calls to the Ambulance Service were missed in every month of last year; agrees that the Department of Health has failed to adequately address the causes of unacceptable ambulance waiting times, including the lack of capacity in the Ambulance Service workforce and delays in admitting patients to hospital from ambulances; and calls on the Minister of Health to urgently bring forward proposals to improve the availability and capacity of ambulance services, including development of an Ambulance Service workforce plan, to support the new Clinical Response Model.
