From cancer care to school buses - emergency group lists key public services hardest hit by nationwide fuel blockade
"Emergency services are facing significant challenges as the National Ambulance Service has had to implement contingency plans due to restricted fuel supplies, including halting non-life-threatening call-outs."
"Health appointments across the country have been canceled, particularly affecting critical care for cancer and dialysis patients, highlighting the severe impact of fuel shortages on essential health services."
The National Emergency Coordination Group met to address the impact of protests on transport and vital services. Fuel depots are facing blockades, leading to over 100 fuel stations running out of supply. Emergency services, including the National Ambulance Service, are implementing contingency plans due to fuel shortages, affecting non-life-threatening call-outs. Health services are also suffering, with numerous appointments canceled, particularly for critical care patients. The Government emphasizes the need for safe access to healthcare settings amid these disruptions.
