Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

Overcrowding Crisis in Hospitals: Discussion

Ms Phil Ní Sheaghdha:

Apologies, what I should have said is that it made no difference to the overcrowding.

We still have a chronic overcrowding problem. That is why we are saying that in most cases increased capacity helps. When it does not, it poses a question. That is why we are looking for the independent review to examine why that increased inpatient bed capacity did not improve the overcrowding situation, as one would have imagined it should have done.
