Title

A RESOLUTION CONCERNING ESTABLISHING A TASK FORCE TO ADDRESS HOSPITAL EMERGENCY ROOM WAIT TIMES for the purpose of establishing the task force on reducing hospital emergency room wait times to study best practices and make recommendations for reducing emergency room wait times; and generally relating to the task force on reducing emergency room wait times.
