Who is in charge of the step-down services? Should the groups be managing the link between the primary care unit and the hospital if they had the power to do so? Is that what Mr. Woods is saying? I appreciate that University Hospital Galway has a low rate of overnight stays. I suppose that is a compliment to the hospital authorities. They are managing the capacity issue very well. Who has specific responsibility for the link between the community and the hospital? Are the groups responsible for it?
