It’s understood the visit was part of an “increased focus” on the delivery of integrated services on a seven-day basis by ensuring Senior Decision Makers (SDMs) are rostered throughout the entire week including evenings, weekends and public holidays.

UHL was the most overcrowded facility in the country during the visit, with the INMO recording 99 patients on trolleys during this morning’s rounds.
