In April, hospitals reported a 96 per cent compliance rate with a maximum 24-hour shift for all NCHDs.

Waiting times continue to be a concern for the HSE, with child waiting times for inpatient and day cases worsening slightly and the numbers waiting for over 18 months also increasing.

Emergency department (ED) attendances in April were up 1 per cent (36 per day) compared to March, and increased by 9.

The non-engagement of GPs at Primary Care Team (PCT) meetings is reflected in the reduced numbers of teams reported in operation, the HSE has said.

Delayed discharges were below 700 in April, continuing the downward trend from March.

The March HSE absence rate stood at 4.

Contractual arrangements for delivering intensive home care packages are still under negotiation, but it is planned that they will be in place later this year.
