Dr. Colm Henry:

We triage people a certain way in the emergency department. There are a number of time-quick admissions, which demand that patients go down a treatment pathway, whether it is a heart attack or a stroke. I will ask my Dr. O’Dwyer and Dr. Martin to describe what happens in the adult and paediatric wards succinctly, if they can, given the time pressures, in streaming patients and how we identify them.
