Ms Mary Day:

I was in Galway last Thursday, where we saw some good processes and integrated working with the community partners. We have been working with Galway as well over the past of months on the improvement the CEO mentioned and looking at planned dates of discharge of reviewing patients over 30 days. They are opening up a new navigation hub next week as well. We have seen the ten beds and the Senator is correct that they make a difference in respect of the additional surge in the system and help improve the situation. The Senator will see from TrolleyGAR over the past couple of weeks that Galway has improved. Today, there are 22 beds there. We will be working with them on identifying additional capacity. There is much work ongoing there at the moment.
