The EAS pilot has been extended again until December. So far about 420 missions have been completed.
Some one brought the subject up at work today, I'd be concerned that the party involved doesn't know and would like to be able to give him a reference.Covid 19 is not over ....it's still very real..Hand Hygiene, Social Distancing and Masks.. keep safe

The EAS was extended after the twelve month pilot by three months and now by another three months until December.

Air Ambulance Service Provision
576. Deputy Nicky McFadden Information on Nicky McFadden Zoom on Nicky McFadden asked the Minister for Health Information on Dr. James Reilly Zoom on Dr. James Reilly the current position regarding the air ambulance service operating from Custume Barracks, Athlone; if the service will continue; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [40444/13]
Minister for Health (Deputy James Reilly): Information on Dr. James Reilly Zoom on Dr. James Reilly The Emergency Aeromedical Support (EAS) service was established as a joint 12 month pilot project between the National Ambulance Service (NAS) and the Air Corps, providing dedicated aeromedical support to the NAS in the west, specifically where land ambulance transit times would not be clinically appropriate. The pilot EAS service, based in Athlone, has been reviewed by the EAS Audit and Evaluation Group, The evaluation included an assessment of a range of data including tasking frequency, mission duration and patient transport times. I have accepted the report and an inter-service group is now being established to examine how best to implement its recommendations. In the meantime, I have agreed with my colleague, the Minister for Defence, to extend aeromedical support by the Air Corps to the EAS until December 2013, pending decisions on how best to proceed following consideration of the report’s recommendations.

I thought that interview was very one sided considering how involved the Air Corps are in this with Medevac 112 and inter hospital transfers, I felt like contacting them to point out the Air Corps involvement in the system, as a matter of interest the 139 was into Galway Hospital last night with a transfer from Letterkenny, fantastic service and wel, done to all involvedLast edited by Brian McGrath; 24 October 2013, 12:19.
