The RQIA finds staffing and infection prevention control issues at the Royal Victoria Hospital.
Sources have told BBC News NI that this report does not go far enough and does not reflect what has been happening in the Royal Victoria Hospital over the past six to nine months.
This, she said, would allow patients to have confidence in continuing to access the Royal Victoria Hospital's ED and to "feel confident and supported in raising concerns when they do have experiences that are less than what they would expect from the department". "What seems like basic issues like making sure the blood trolleys are re-stocked, usually we would have people allocated to do those roles and even that can be difficult because everyone is constantly at 100%," he said.
It added steps already included "the establishment of new triage pathways, significantly improved ambulance turnaround times at our ED, and the reconfiguration of the RVH Emergency Care Village to create a dedicated Medical Assessment Unit, including a frailty assessment area".
