No delays in ambulance service discussions says health minister

The government will push ahead with its plans to set up a national ambulance agency, Health Minister Neophytos Charalambides assured on Wednesday, in response to concerns that state health services organisation Okypy was calling for a delay in discussing the bill.

On Tuesday, the federation of patients’ associations (Osak) had expressed its opposition to a demand put forward by Okypy for a delay at the House health committee in discussing government’s bill for the creation of a national agency.
