Eamon Ryan (GP), Dublin Bay South

I do not know whether those numbers reflect long Covid and its impact on respiratory illness or just the ongoing reality that respiratory illness is a significant and acute health issue in our country, which in turn means we have to address the wider issue. However, I will ask the Minister for Health to try to provide an analysis as to why the queues have lengthened and whether it is possible to use the National Treatment Purchase Fund.
