Is it not possible that with the bigger ones, we could get a specialised group to assist in clearing the backlog, albeit with a cost to the taxpayer? I know the HSE has been trying to do this directly in the hospital. Is there not some arrangement that can be made with individual consultants on the big end of the scale? The HSE could go to the hospital, take out the files and work through them so as to get signed off on the process.
