Mr. Tony O?Brien:

Yes. As with other health systems, there will always be people on trolleys. The question is about how long they are there. In the UK's NHS, for example, the standard is that a person should either be seen and discharged or seen and admitted - that is, no longer on a trolley - within four hours. We could move to that way of thinking about things, but there are always going to be patients on trolleys.
