Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

HSE Winter Plan 2022-2023: HSE

Mr. Stephen Mulvany:

If I could answer the Deputy's question, the key thing is what we are trying to do about those individual waiting lists. We can talk about that, if the Deputy wishes. We are improving those waiting lists, not in line with the targets we have set. However, since the peak in Covid, a lot of those waiting lists have fallen substantially, between 40% and 80% in different cases. We are focused. We are investing and seeking to improve the process. It is not about the numbers on the waiting lists, but the time they are waiting.
