Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

Management of Hospital Waiting Lists and Insourcing and Outsourcing of Treatment: Discussion

2:00 am

The difference now is our ageing population, the prevalence of eye disease in an ageing population, and the demand for cataract surgery. It is just that the demand is outstripping all of the capacity we are putting in.
