Missing Link
The first real attempt at transparency that I’ve seen from the Health Service Executive was the A&E Activity link on their site. Now it is gone!
When I wrote about Shona Just’s dilemma on the 27th of August the Emergency Department link was added into the post as it was up-to-date, informative, and believable. But now the data has been altered, corrupted, and put into an archived file where only some of the links work. Those that do work give repetitive statistics that do not reflect the activity on the dates selected.
Is this a cover-up? or just bad IT management?

Maybe they read your post from the day before and decided to cut down on surveillance! Good on ye for keeping an eye on the situation - whistle blowers are badly needed to knock the health service into shape!

Thanks Steph! I think it more likely that they realised the results were too embarrassing to put on display. It’s a shame that the information is no longer available.
