1001283 – Ambulance services in the capital region
The Hafnarfjörður Town Council considers it urgent that an agreement on ambulance services for the capital region is reached immediately, so as to eliminate uncertainty about this vital service in the years to come. It is extremely important that the emergency service in the capital region is not disrupted, but unless something changes, all indications are that this is where things are heading. It is no less important that an agreement is reached to ensure the ambulance service remains of the same high quality as it has been, a standard that is largely due to the joint operation of the fire and rescue service and the ambulance service. after all, opportunities for staff education and training arise from the scale and economies of combined operations. The matter concerns the welfare and safety of all those who work, gather, travel through or live in the capital region. The residents of the region, as well as the rest of the country, have increasingly high expectations of public authorities for safety and protection, and for the emergency service to be of the highest standard. The municipalities have been providing ambulance services since the early 20th century and are therefore well-equipped to continue managing this area.
Hafnarfjörður Town Council urges the government to enter into negotiations immediately with the municipalities of the capital region regarding the operation of ambulance services in the area, thereby ensuring continued service and safety for its residents.
