Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

Business of Joint Committee
Hospital Services: Discussion

9:00 am

Mr. Liam Woods:

We can provide the detailed data we are using for 8 a.m. trolley numbers. There was a question on why UL was always the highest for trolleys. It has persistently had one of the highest attendances and it is rising faster than most other hospitals, which is a factor in the trolley numbers. Our report for May showed three other hospitals with higher trolley numbers. I was asked about the difference between trolleyGAR, which the HSE reports, and trolley watch. I would not focus on the data because the underlying condition is unacceptable but we can provide our own information.
