On the accident and emergency departments, there are enormous challenges regarding the staffing environment. For those of us who have tried to access accident and emergency departments, it would be an understatement to say the experience has been quite dramatic. I have personal experience from a number of family members that have gone through the accident and emergency department; the experience they had was absolutely unacceptable. I understand that the people working in these departments are under serious pressure and face challenging situations, but people being left on trolleys for two or three days is not acceptable.
