Hypothermia Scalp Cooling Therapy: Motion [Private Members]
Seanad Éireann — 2023-12-13
============================================================

Fintan Warfield (SF), Cultural and Educational Panel

The recruitment freeze will see dedicated staff pushed to work in increasingly unsafe and unsustainable conditions. It is extraordinary that when almost 1 million people are on some sort of health waiting list the Government has made this decision. We know it will result in further delays in diagnosis and treatment which will lead to worse outcomes for patients. The decision to underfund the health service should be reversed. That is all I want to say. I cannot let this important opportunity pass without making the point that we need to fund the health service. I wanted to make that point during the debate.
