The Mater Hospital in Dublin had the highest figures for any single hospital
Fianna Fáil Spokesperson on Health Stephen Donnelly has pointed out that the total number of people waiting for an appointment population almost mirrors the entire population of Connacht, which is put at just over 550,000.
In a statement released today, Donnelly said:"This is clearly a crisis yet we see no initiative from Minister Harris. We are still waiting for an action plan on waiting lists for this year. The promised plan for outpatients in 2018 never materialised. "There is no sense of urgency. When the numbers waiting for an appointment is set to surpass the population of a province surely it’s time for the Minister to take action."Barry Murphy and Andrew Trimble look ahead to Ireland vs. France in the Guinness Six Nations, discuss the possible return of CJ Stander and training with The Hardy Bucks.
