Crowded A&E's 'to stay' says leading professor of emergency medicine at CUH

A leading professor of emergency medicine at Cork University Hospital (CUH) has warned that overcrowding at the hospital's Emergency Department may never be resolved, writes Rob McNamara.

Professor Stephen Cusack, who is a consultant in emergency medicine at CUH, delivered his assessment after patients waiting to be treated at the Emergency Department were sent home due to overcrowding while others had to wait up to 10 hours for treatment in recent days.
