The Hard Shoulder Highlights

"It's very hard to be optimistic."

Seriously ill people are waiting in Emergency Departments for on average about 13 hours before they are admitted to hospital. Tallaght University Hospital has the longest waits in the country – an average of 24.5 hours before a patient is admitted. Fergal Hickey, Consultant in Emergency Medicine at Sligo and President for the Irish Association for Emergency Medicine joined Kieran to discuss his concerns over the numbers going into emergency wards and what can be done to address the issue.   Listen and subscribe to The Hard Shoulder on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts and Spotify.      Download, listen and subscribe on the Newstalk App.     You can also listen to Newstalk live on newstalk.com or on Alexa, by adding the Newstalk skill and asking: 'Alexa, play Newstalk'.
