Covid-19 (Health): Statements
Dail Éireann — 2020-05-27
============================================================

Catherine Connolly (IND), Galway West

There is no equity in this. The Minister is talking about private patients going into the public system where the public system has significant waiting lists. If what the consultant stated on Monday is wrong, then the Minister should challenge her publicly about a three and a half year waiting list for gynaecology in the public system in Galway. I am too familiar with this. I appreciate the Minister has done a deal under pressure-----
