Elderly people 'getting lost' in health system 'that is not fit for purpose'

Elderly people are getting lost in a health system that is not fit for purpose, says Bernadette Walshe, whose elderly father begged for a bed for his wife at Cork University Hospital.

Ms Walshe said she highlighted her mother's case in the media because she wants the next government, whatever form it takes, to restructure hospital emergency departments in the Cork region.
