GALWAY TO BENEFIT FROM NEW AIR AMBULANCE SERVICE

Date Published: 21-May-2012

Galway patients are set to benefit from a new air amulance service which is to focus on the West of the country.

The pilot project will see the Air Corps provide dedicated support to the H-S-E.

Based at Custume Barracks in Athlone, it'll cost a million euro a year to run.

Health Minister James Reilly says it'll ensure seriously ill patients in Western counties can get the treatment they need
