Is there a difference between the HSE hospitals and the section 38 hospitals in terms of the waiting lists for procedures and the trolley count?

Clarification of Matters Relating to Meeting of 2 February 2016 (15 Jun 2017) Seán Fleming: If there is a 50:50 split between the section 38 hospitals and the HSE hospitals, it would be interesting to know what the trolley count is in proportion to the level of financial activity and the waiting list. I am trying to see if there is a correlation. Let us say that the HSE hospitals are getting 50% but have only 40% of the waiting lists. I know it is not as simple as that and that...

People are now sent on to the accident and emergency department. Of all the people who attend the accident and emergency...

Clarification of Matters Relating to Meeting of 2 February 2016 (15 Jun 2017) Seán Fleming: I am very worried about the first line on page 105 of the report concerning ambulances, which reads, "Emergency response - percentage of clinical status 1 Delta incidents responded to by a patient carrying vehicle in 18 minutes 59 seconds or less". The target is 80% and the actual outcome for 2015 was 64% achieved within that period. In 2016 it deteriorated to 61%. That seems a very...
