Children's Health Ireland - Patient safety concerns and reviews in paediatric orthopaedic surgical services: Statements, Questions and Answers
Dail Éireann — 2023-09-26
============================================================

Duncan Smith (LAB), Dublin Fingal

The waiting list has not reduced despite the number of surgeries increasing. Does the Minister have any information as to why that is the case? Could it be that patients having unexpected further surgeries are being added to the waiting list? Therefore, they never come off or come off only for a short period of time because they have to go on.
