Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
Challenges in Hospitals: Minister for Health
Mr. Damien McCallion:
We collect data at national level as Dr. Henry said around triage, age, and other categories like that. If Deputy Shortall is looking for granular data relating to individual attendance the hospitals look at that themselves locally in terms of analysing the mix. If one takes St. Vincent's Hospital for example, we know there is a different population profile there. We do not collect the granular level of detail that Deputy Shortall is talking about on a national basis.
