The death of a young girl who waited over an hour for an ambulance has highlighted the need for greater use of firefighters to respond to medical emergencies, the Health Minister has said.
Robin Swann said he hoped to be able to announce plans for further collaboration between the NI Fire and Rescue Service and the NI Ambulance Service in the “very near future”.
Mr Swann was commenting on a campaign by the family of Maggie Black following her sudden death in December last year.
