We keep hearing about the long lists of people waiting on trolleys in A&E departments for days and weeks.
Every time I am in a hospital with kids and other relatives who are in-patients we seem to spend the last day to day and a half waiting to be discharged. Why don’t the HSE measure that? If discharge decisions can be made every few hours instead of every day of two we could probably sort out a large chunk of the problem. How come this is never mentioned?
