Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
Challenges Facing Emergency Departments in Public Hospitals: HSE
Mr. Stephen Mulvany:
On the community part, which Mr. McCallion spoke about, the egress from the hospital is not a substantial issue. The average numbers it has experienced in regard to delayed transfers of care are relatively low.
We would like them to be lower. There is always room for some improvement. The other thing the community can do is help with admission avoidance. Again, the enhanced community care team with the community specialty will assist.
