I have been in contact with the hospital authorities and from the information I have received they are satisfied that the person in question received appropriate medical treatment during her visit to St. Vincent's Hospital.
In regard to the complaint about the dirt of the Casualty Department, the hospital authorities have informed me that unfortunately this can happen as a result of members of the public throwing litter on the floor. I have also been assured that all trolley mattresses are quite new and untorn.
