Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
Hospital Services: Discussion (Resumed)
9:00 am
Dr. Peadar Gilligan:
The majority of patients are aware of the great pressure to move patients through hospitals.
One of the issues that arises for certain families is patients being moved to a location that is distant from them affecting the ability of people to visit. Where possible the hospitals try to address that locally with the patient. That happens and causes frustration for the patients, their relatives and the hospitals in a minority of cases.
