A new initiative by a dedicated volunteer group who are concerned by the rise in road and farm accidents resulting in serious injuries and fatalities in Waterford aims to procure a new state of the art Critical Emergency Medical Response Vehicle for the West Waterford area. The Dungarvan based fundraising group, Rapid Response Vehicle for West Waterford, aims to enhance emergency medical services in the region, ensuring advanced A+E emergency pre-hospital care is swiftly delivered throughout a very large mostly rural 100 square mile area.
