Tallaght University Hospital A&E average waits of 21 hours slammed as 'unacceptable'

Patients under the age of 75 attending Tallaght University Hospital's emergency department faced average waits of 21 hours in April to be admitted, HSE figures show.

And last month, those aged over 75 waited an average of 19.3 hours before being admitted.

So far this year, eight elderly patients waited over 48 hours in the emergency department.
