Madam, - I write to support the letter written from Dr Timothy Lynch (March 5th) on the crisis in A&E units. As the relative of an 82-year-old who spent five nights on a trolley, I can only say it was horrendous. It was like a scene in a horror movie. The conditions are an insult to the ill and to those who try to look after them.
The staff in these units are to be admired for the work they do and especially for not going on strike in protest at such terrible working conditions. - Yours, etc.,
H.J. BECKETT, Green Road, Blackrock, Co Dublin.
