Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
Overcrowding Crisis in Hospitals: Discussion
Ms Vanessa Hetherington:
The day facility is one small answer to the solution. The issue is capacity across the whole system. If elective surgeries are increased, the day cases will be good and we will stop cancelling elective care but capacity within the hospital system will still not be sufficient, even for the emergency care that we need.
