Has the HSE analysed the reason people are attending, specifically in each hospital? Presumably, that information is taken when somebody checks in. Why are they there? Are they there with an asthma attack? Are they there because they have had a sports injury? Are they there because they have nowhere else to go? It might be an elderly person. Is that data available? Unless the HSE has that data, I do not know how it can respond to the need and provide alternative opportunities for people. Does that data exist and can we see it?
