From September 2011 the HSE plan to remove the Youghal Ambulance full-time from the town. They plan to replace it with a solo paramedic response car. This means that if a medical emergency happens anywhere within the town or surrounding areas including Ardmore, Killeagh, Castlemartyr, Ballycotton, Knockanore and further afield the casualty will have to wait for AT LEAST 20 mins before an ambulance from Midleton, Dungarvan, Fermoy or even Cork City arrives to take them to hospital (this could take up to an hour!). This makes it impossible for a casualty to make it to an A+E Department within the recommended 'golden hour' and greatly reduces their chances of survival.
This decision has to be reversed or else lives will be lost!
- Please suggest this page to all of your friends as it may effect any one of your friends and family.
- Please also sign local petitions (details to follow)
- We will be asking you to write to the HSE and government soon also to voice your concerns and more details on how to do this will follow.
Below are just some of the comments on the Save Youghal Ambulance facebook page:

I think the petition might not be enough to change this decision, I think its time Youghal stood up and was counted, we have stayed quiet for long enough, lets take to the streets and stand up for our town, get camera crews and newspapers down and let them all know that we will not take this, and we do not want lives put at risk!!!

It is ludicrous to discontinue with the Ambulance Service. Upon a person sustaining a stroke or heart attack, the ambulance where I live in Nürnberg Germany is on the scene within 7 minutes. It is absolutely detrimental to be without an ambulance.

got a spin off ye guys 6 years ago, and could not praise ye highly enough, patrick mc hung on awhile in the hospital, and was a great comfort to me and helen, i hope i wont need ye for awhile, but it would be nice to know ye were there, the people of youghal need and depend on this service, regards to all

Maybe whoever made this decsion In the government should sit in the ambulance when the paramedics are doin the fantastic work they do in Youghal every day... And then see if the town doesn't need an ambulance... The Youghal paramedics were amazing when my grandad was sick, and to this day I will thank them from the bottom of my heart. I'm sure the town will do whatever we can to save the ambulance in Youghal! X
