Micheál Martin (FF), Cork South-Central

One of the big problems for the hospitals, as the Deputy and I know, has been that too many people who are finished their acute phase of hospital treatment have had to stay in hospital for far too long, with backlogs the whole way down the line. I will ask the agency to give the Deputy any information he requires in terms of specifics around particular diseases and conditions.
