Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
Challenges Facing Emergency Departments in Public Hospitals: HSE
Mr. Stephen Mulvany:
That is a risk. I cannot give the Senator certainty because I do not have it. What we have certainty about is that health systems across the world can lead to patients suffering avoidable harm and in some cases, death. We also know that delays in admission are associated with excess mortality. That is what I do know. I cannot give the Senator what he is looking for in terms of a guarantee.
