South East Ambulance Service

Councillors Joe Sullivan from Gorey and James Browne from Enniscorthy met with the head of the South East Ambulance Service at St Johns Hospital, Enniscorthy, yesterday, (Wednesday) to raise concerns over the ambulance service in County Wexford.

 Currently Wexford District has its own dedicated paramedic crew at night time but only 2 crews rotate between the 3 districts of Gorey, Enniscorthy and New Ross at night.  However, from next month, March 2015, the number of paramedics based in Enniscorthy is to increase by 50% to 6. Coupled with the 8 already based at Gorey this will allow for a full service for each of the 3 districts from Thursdays through Sunday.


Councillors Sullivan & Browne have been at the forefront in raising this issue for some time and they welcomed the news as a significant step in the provision of a full ambulance service for County Wexford.
