Adam Cairns, chief executive of Cardiff and Vale UHB, told BBC Radio Wales: "There is a mistaken belief that emergency units are all about trauma.
"There is trauma. But by far and wide the people we treat are usually older people who are unwell. Our picture of who goes to A&E has changed over the years."

Earlier this morning, Wayne Parsons told Good Morning Wales about the four ambulances bringing patients to the emergency unit.
He said: "We've had a nasty ankle injury and cardiac chest pain being looked at now and there's two more on the way. But we're quite calm and quite smooth at the moment.
"Usually, that's the pressures we seen day in day out, we juggle with sick patients. I think the good thing about it being free at the point of care is that everyone gets seen."
