Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
Issues at the Emergency Department of University Hospital Limerick Raised in the HIQA Report: Discussion
Dr. Mike O'Connor:
That there was a problem, which we have already described. It was a mismatch between demand and capacity. In addition to that there was a very enthusiastic management team and also a very motivated workforce. There was a congestion issue. At any one time there were probably plus 90 patients in hospital and we entered into a four-week plan of decongestion.
