Verbatim
“These long waits are also dangerous, and we know there is a link between long waits and a higher chance of mortality, among patients who come to us and are in need of admission into a hospital bed.”
“EDs have been running hot all year round, in a state of perpetual crisis, with thousands of patients left waiting more than half a day, corridor care the norm. Patients who come to us are subjected to undignified and dangerous conditions.”
“the least worst decisions they can”
“Politicians must heed our warnings ahead of what we worry will be an utterly brutal winter.”
“Behind these numbers are stories of families ripped apart by avoidable deaths which have happened because successive governments have failed to grab the ED crisis by the horns.”
“Behind these numbers are stories of families ripped apart by avoidable deaths which have happened because successive governments have failed to grab the ED crisis by the horns”
“We are profoundly concerned about how this policy might work in practice, the impact it could have on EDs and, by extension, the potentially devastating consequences for patients.”
“Behind these numbers are stories of families ripped apart by avoidable deaths which have happened because successive governments have failed to grab the ED crisis by the horns.”
“Behind these numbers are stories of families ripped apart by avoidable deaths which have happened because successive governments have failed to grab the ED crisis by the horns”
“It's not just degrading, and demoralising - this is where the harm lies.”
“Those in power in Northern Ireland must do better. This is horrific. Corridor care is undignified; it compromises confidentiality and causes harm. It must be eradicated”
