Regarding the number of people on trolleys, there is a very important point for the people of the mid-west who are watching this. I, too, saw the report and the information provided. I might ask our emergency department consultant to give the committee a brief account because it is a very stark figure. I know people in the mid-west will have seen that figure and will have believed that this is due to overcrowding. I might ask Dr. McNamara to give a view as to, in essence, the fatalities in hospitals and emergency departments across the country.
