I have heard of cases of elderly people left in accident and emergency departments for two, three, four and even five days. Surely we owe it to them to make sure that does not arise. They have paid their taxes and made their contributions to the State. Therefore should we now look at the structure of accident and emergency departments and aim to give them the level of care they deserve in a timely manner?
