Health Services Waiting Lists
Dail Éireann — 2026-07-09
============================================================

David Cullinane (SF), Waterford

This question is in relation to community care waiting lists, which I have been tracking for some time. There are now 280,000 people, unfortunately, on community waiting lists, with many of them waiting far too long. I know the Minister has talked about new initiatives to reduce community waiting lists, which I respect and want to see implemented, but, unfortunately, the numbers have been going in the wrong direction for some time. This important area of healthcare needs more attention.
