The Minister for Health is highlighting significant improvement in Emergency Department overcrowding across HSE West and North West hospitals.
However, not all hospitals in the region are experiencing the improvement, with no mention of University Hospital Galway in the statement.

It also shows that the number of patients aged 75 years and over, waiting long period in Emergency Departments, is down by 20%.
