The results of the 2021 National Inpatient Experience Survey were launched this morning by Minister for Health, Stephen Donnelly. For the survey 10,743 patients were asked about their experiences of treatment in 40 hospitals around the country in the last year. Despite long wait times, the survey found that most patients had positive interactions with hospital staff last year, with 83% rating their hospital experience as good or very good.
Andrea was joined by listeners who were in touch with the show to share their own inpatient experiences.
