It continuously happens. If it was any other profession, those with responsibility for accident and emergency departments or health services would be sacked. There are no two ways around it. Some 27,000 patients who went to access accident and emergency departments across the State left without being treated in the first three months of this year. That is not acceptable. I would like to hear the HSE's comments on that; that people go to emergency departments and are left on a trolley for two or three days or have to leave because they cannot be seen.
