Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
Business of Joint Committee
Hospital Services: Discussion
9:00 am
Mr. Paul Bolger:
No but what is clear from the waiting list at the moment is that we do not have the capacity within the system to treat the volume of people who are coming through it and that is what is manifesting itself in terms of people who either are on waiting lists or are waiting at emergency departments to spend some time in order to be admitted to hospital. That is what is happening.
