LISTEN BACK: People leaving A&Es in their droves without treatment

Almost 115,000 people left Emergency Departments last year including those attending Cavan General Hospital. That's according to figures released this week to Aontu that also show how 10,000 people left Cavan A&E without treatment over the last five years.

The party representative on Cavan County Council, Cllr Sarah O'Reilly says there are major concerns over people who need treatment leaving and subsequently becoming seriously ill as a result. Cllr O'Reilly spoke to the Wider View about the matter and she began by highlighting how the matter first came to light, locally.
