It goes without saying that the ideal model for infection control is single-occupancy rooms. With an ageing population and the increases in attendances, presumably the elderly, immunocompromised and so on would be prioritised for these rooms. I know retrofitting is difficult and my colleague, Deputy Colm Burke, referenced a hospital in his area with a large number of beds in one ward. Is that part of the ongoing improvement in HSE services?
