Vote 38 - Health
Health Service Executive - Financial Statements 2021 (Resumed)

Ms Yvonne O'Neill:

It is back to 6,349. We have been involved in a revised waiting list programme. As other Deputies identified, we have gaps in our service in terms of personnel, notwithstanding the 1,600 additional posts made to disability in the last number of years. We are looking to the private system to see how we can improve the waiting list and waiting times. We are currently in a procurement process because we have to do that under fairly strict procurement-----
