Jennifer Carroll MacNeill (FG), Dún Laoghaire

The issue of trolleys and congestion in hospitals, particularly at weekends, is an absolute priority for me. I will be bringing a series of data points to Cabinet on this next week. There are two issues - I am happy to discuss them with all Deputies - namely those relating to underlying capacity and work practices. Even in the very short period that I have been the Minister for Health, I have seen considerable problems across hospitals on Saturdays, Sundays and bank holiday Mondays. Different hospitals manage matters differently, but this is a matter of major concern for me. I am happy to speak to all Deputies on this, directly and very soon.
