Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
Management of Hospital Waiting Lists and Insourcing and Outsourcing of Treatment: Discussion (Resumed)
2:00 am
David Cullinane (Waterford, Sinn Fein)
Yes, just bear with me just and I will come to the Minister. It is important for us to have clarity, because we have all been lobbied by different consultants and different hospitals. I have spoken to the Minister on it as well in regarding commentary that waiting lists are going up in some hospitals because insourcing has ceased completely. However to put that to one side, I think it is important for everybody to know what the current policy is. Is it the Minister's intention that insourcing will cease completely in June of next year or is she reserving judgment on this?
