The total emergency department attendances by people aged over the age of 75 are down by 110 this year on last year. Total emergency department admissions are down by 2,320 this year compared with last year. Total emergency department admissions by people aged over 75 are down by 907.

This hospital is seeing more beds, through St. John's, a second MRI, the 60-bed modular under way, extra nurses and fewer people going to it, so there is a process piece. It is not a blame at all. I must say, and I know that the Deputy is also passionate about some consultant work practices, that there does need to be change.
