The National Ambulance Service has acknowled the need for more workers in Clare after local personnel raised concerns over ambulances being parked up on dozens of occasions last month.
In a statement to Clare FM, the NAS says 'short-notice absenteeism' presents managers with challenging issues, particularly when it's unforeseen or when there is little or no notice.
SIPTU's Ted Kenny says absenteeism alone doesn't account for the shortage.
