As the Deputy will be aware, Minister Daly has established a Working Group to undertake an independent expert review of delayed discharges, which can impact on patient flow and Emergency Department performance, with the objective of reducing delayed discharges and ensuring that patients are cared for in the most appropriate setting. This Group is due to report back to him shortly.
In relation to the particular query raised by the Deputy, I have asked the HSE to respond to the Deputy directly.
