It has been put to me older persons are referred by their GPs through the bed bureau, and are brought to UHL. There, they will end up on trolleys. They will eventually get beds. They will then be discharged to go to Ennis. This process is instead of going to directly to Ennis, having been referred by their GPs through the bed bureau. Instead of putting that older person through all that hardship, they could be looked after in Ennis, which is fully capable of doing that.
