Sláintecare, which we all signed up to, promised that people should not wait any longer than four months. However, despite that, the wait times are going in the wrong direction. If we are going to spend more money, as we should, on our health service and if there is a plan to recruit more staff and open more beds, that should be matched with a target to reduce outpatient and inpatient waiting times by a percentage. Is there such a target?
