I will mention one final thing when we are talking about the trolleys and the accident and emergency department. I see it myself to be honest. I was over there a lot of times.
We are short on ambulance cover in my area of Killybegs and south Donegal. Our ambulance goes over there. It is parked for maybe three or four hours waiting for the patient to be taken into accident and emergency. Could one person be put there to fast-track people into the system and to get our ambulances rolling again, back to what they need to do, rather than sitting at accident and emergency?
