Hospital Services
Seanad Éireann — 2022-07-13
============================================================

Erin McGreehan (FF), Nominated by the Taoiseach

I thank the Minister of State. It is good news that the advisory group will report. I very much welcome the ongoing work by the Department in all services to reduce waiting lists, increase care and improve outcomes for many patients. I will follow up with the Department on specific details about the waiting lists and ask which services will be expanded in the short term before the advisory group reports. If someone is awaiting a feared cancer diagnosis, late 2022 is too far off. I will push for that, therefore, with the Minister for Health and his Department in order that there will be, I hope, additional services in the meantime.
