Health Strategies
Dail Éireann — 2023-09-21
============================================================

David Cullinane (SF), Waterford

We need a multi-annual plan for the health services. We know there is a crisis in emergency departments, with people waiting too long. There are almost 900,000 people or more on waiting lists when one includes diagnostic waiting times, acute hospitals and community waiting lists. There are problems in children's healthcare. A multi-annual plan is needed. I have been calling for one for some time. What plans does the Government have to put such a plan in place?
