While it is successful in places that have more EDs, the mid-west has over 400,000 people being served by just UHL. The other areas the Minister mentioned have EDs closer to the main hospitals than the mid-west has. Those 400,000 people are travelling a distance to get there. Is the problem not that there are not enough EDs within range of Limerick?
