In Beaumont tonight. Was in front of an ambulance man or paramedic. He said this was the last trolly in A&E.
Crazy. Money needs to be invested in the hospitals we have as well. Investment in the Knuts and bolts that make hospitals run not just committees to look into the feasibility of policy changes.
The Doctors and Nurses are carry the nation on their shoulders here.

Overnight in Beaumont is… ***fun***
It looks like the first trolley ever bought by the HSE too!
Money isn’t the answer. We don’t get value for money in the health service. The changes that need to happen aren’t popular so won’t happen nor is the the accountability.
If it worked properly, then you people wouldn’t be buying VHI and using private facilities and paying out of pocket.
And we can’t be having that now. Assets managers and insurance board members have Porches to buy.
Also I hope you/your friend/family member is alright
Idk if this is real thing but ever since visiting few hospitals in Ireland, I’ve developed this weird anxiety of hoping never needing/visiting one.
Its ok FF and FG are paying €9m for phone pouches.
You know when they talk about trolleys and beds, its not actually about thr trolleys and beds, its about the staff to maintain those trolley/bed stations.
That’s the emergency trolley, it’s right beside the ambulance entrance in case someone collapses in the corridor or waiting room. By which I mean all the trollys are full.
> investment in thr Knutsford
The what now?
I start the bid for 14bn to bring it from Dublin to Waterford. Be a good way to spend 14bn of apple tax
The budget increases every year by hundreds of millions to billions, yet we have less beds now than we did in 1999. Money is not the issue, its mismangement
I wonder why they aren’t using fitted sheets? The white sheets would be slipping all around the shop, I won’t say anything about the lack of pillows (they’re like gold in our ED) I feel sorry for anyone on the trolleys in ED, they’re essentially stuck there until a bed frees up
That looks like it from the 90s
Had to go to Beaumont emergency (had a doctor’s letter) 3 years ago and it was a mess, even though I was triaged fairly quickly. Everyone had to sit on chairs, supposedly distanced, but not. Mostly all elderly people.
Gardai came in with joyriders that had crashed nearby, who were talking and belligerent but on trolleys. They were brought straight up after triage, no wait.
I get so thick with friends or relatives, particularly in other countries telling me to go to A&E/ED if I have what I’d consider a minor reaction or injury. Like I have a spare couple of days to sit around waiting to be seen. Particularly when you’ve kids that need looking after.
Oh I have a great idea let’s keep giving 240 million euro to rte bc it’s important apparently 😵💫
Did you nick it?
What do you expect for 23.5 billion per year? Oh wait…
