Ireland has 53 publicly funded acute hospitals, 35
of which have Emergency Departments. Every day
these Emergency Departments see an average of
3,300 people, the majority of whom are treated
there and then and discharged without the need
for in-patient admission. To better understand the
service user or patients’ experience of the service,
the HSE contracted an independent research
company to survey, by computer aided telephone
interview, 1,600 representative members of the
public who had used Emergency Departments
during 2006. The aim of the survey was to ask
patients about their experience of attending an
Emergency Department and to learn from their
experiences as a basis for making improvements
that matter to patients.
