Overcrowding Crisis in Hospitals: Discussion
Dr. Mick Molloy:
Not always, but the volume is higher in this case because UHL is treating patients from what were three hospitals. If one looks at the volume of attendances to UHL, it is one of the highest attendances to any emergency department in the country. It is higher than many of the hospitals in Dublin and yet the bed base in that hospital is smaller than the bed base in those in Dublin.
