Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
Challenges Facing Emergency Departments in Public Hospitals: HSE
Martin Conway (Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source
There was a critical incident protocol in the University Hospital Limerick, UHL. I think it was announced on 3 January. That suggests to me that UHL was the worst of all the hospitals in the country in the trolley crisis. Can Mr. Mulvany confirm what I was told at a briefing last week that of the 180 private beds used throughout the State, only five were requisitioned by the UL Hospitals Group? If that is the case, can Mr. Mulvany explain why on earth the worst performing hospital in the country had the least number of private beds?
