The GSD says it has had many complaints over the festive period from patients either at Xanit in Spain waiting for days to be transferred to St Bernard’s Hospital or waiting for hours at the Accident and Emergency because of lack of available beds on hospital wards. The party says that the main reason for the lack of beds is that many beds are taken by elderly long term patients and those with dementia, which in April 2016 accounted for 48% of bed occupancy. The Opposition adds that this could have been avoided if the Government had prioritised the completion of the Dementia Residential Unit. The GSD says that despite spending £750 million in capital projects over the first four years of its term in office, they did not do so.
