Before coming to the Order of Business I propose to deal with a notice under Standing Order 32. I call on Deputy James Bannon.
Request to move Adjournment of Dáil under Standing Order 32
I seek the Adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 32 to raise a matter of national and local importance, namely, the shocking rise in the number of patients on trolleys in accident and emergency departments in the Midland Regional Hospital from a figure of four in October 2007 to 132 in the same month this year, which is potentially life-threatening and a health and safety hazard, detrimental to patients' health and well-being and is being mirrored in accident and emergency departments throughout the country.
Hear, hear.
Having considered the matter raised, it is not in order under Standing Order 32.
It should be.
