I will move on to another area that relates to elderly people who attend accident and emergency departments. The big problem I have is the number of families who contact me about a person in an accident and emergency department who is frail and has a lot of additional needs and they are left there. Is now the time to look at the structure of accident and emergency departments and to have a designated area specifically aimed at the older age group as they have particular needs?
