The HSE today promised carry out a full report into an incident in which a mother was forced to drive her unconscious son to hospital.
The incident happened last week in Milford after an ambulance was called o an emergency situation.
The paramedic was forced to answer the call alone as he did not have cover.
He was then forced to make the call to treat the child in the back of the car while the woman drove to Letterkenny general Hospital.
The matter was raised today at the Regional Health Forum in Galway by Cllr Ciaran Brogan.
Cllr Brogan told Donegal Daily the HSE have now promised a review and a report into the matter.
Cllr Brogan said he is now hoping that the overall issue of protocol surrounding paramedics in Co Donegal will be addressed by the report and review.
