Cork and Kerry Ambulance Delays | Cork News

Emergency response times in Cork and Kerry hit rock bottom this year—missing every target for the first three months. Ambulances took longer to reach critical ‘purple’ and ‘red’ calls, with only 68% of purple and 36% of red calls meeting benchmarks. Despite a 13% drop in total calls, delays worsened, exposing deep systemic strain. Frontline workers are stretched thin amid recruitment shortages and mounting demand. Fixing this won’t be quick—it demands serious investment and structural overhaul to save lives when seconds count.
