Sir, - Thirteen doctors and 25 staff nurses are employed in the children's accident and emergency department at Tallaght Hospital. The corresponding department at the Children's Hospital in Crumlin has only five doctors and 11 staff nurses. Yet, the Department at Crumlin sees twice as many patients.
Equity? Children's needs? - Yours, etc., Dr Roisin Healy, Consultant, Accident and Emergency Department, Crumlin Hospital
Ranelagh, Dublin 6.
