Richard O'Donoghue (IND), Limerick County

When will the Taoiseach bring in an auditing service in respect of the management of hospitals? University Hospital Limerick has had the longest waiting list for beds for a long time. The latter was not caused by the staff at the hospital, this comes down to a management problem. I said on the first day I came to the Dáil that there is an issue with the management of and the structure in place at University Hospital Limerick. I want a full audit carried out on management and on the progress of their work. This does not relate to the staff or the care they provide. We have a serious management problem. Nurses have left this hospital over issues of management. Our care staff are good but we have a serious problem with management.
