The Minister is probably aware of the fact that 92% of turnaround times in University Hospital Galway exceeded 20 minutes. Only 7.7% were less than 20 minutes. This is to do with trolley back-up and so on and the crazy situation that has not been dealt with in the emergency department at University Hospital Galway. What is the Minister going to do, in a holistic fashion, to deal with this issue and reduce the logjams that are there so that we can get the ambulances back out on the road to actually do what they are supposed to do, which is bring the patients into the hospital?
