I will stick with UHL then. The system in the accident and emergency department is such that you go in, you are triaged and, once you are triaged, you are in the system. However, you can lie on a bed for hours without somebody seeing you.

Why is there not a process manager in the accident and emergency department in UL who can ensure that a person is seen, even if there is nothing to say other than we are waiting for a blood test or something? Why is there not that sort of management system in place? The one in Limerick is a total disaster and despite the amount of money thrown at it, it does not seem to get any better. That really concerns me.
