Management of Hospital Waiting Lists and Insourcing and Outsourcing of Treatment: Discussion
2:00 am
David Cullinane (Waterford, Sinn Fein)
It is not just a risk. I am talking about a perverse incentive here, which is more problematic. I refer to the existence of these companies. We know current and former HSE employees are directors of these companies. We are a small country, and it is the same consultants, by and large, doing the work. In my view, given the existence of this insourcing, there is a perverse incentive in relation to managing waiting lists.
