Clare's Minister Confident Increased Investment In Ambulance Services Will Support Rural Areas

Clare's Minister of State believes increased ambulance activity will address healthcare provision issues in peripheral areas of the county in the future. Tulla-based Minister Timmy Dooley, who's in Canada this week, is one of forty Ministers and other State representatives visiting more than 50 countries for St Patrick's Day. Last week, the Health Minister confirmed the purchase of an almost 44-acre site for the development of a new hospital for the Midwest. Minister of State Dooley says while his preference was for the new facility to be based in Clare, increased investment in ambulance services, which will soon be announced, will make a difference.
