I have a quick question regarding the number of people leaving hospital emergency departments.

We assume that most of them were in need of medical care, although people will leave for different reasons, particularly at weekends, when they go in and out, and staff are being hassled, threatened and everything else. People may have to leave for other reasons. Is it correct that, last year, the figure was approximately 75,000?
