Gerry Adams (Louth, Sinn Fein)

Today some 394 patients are lying on hospital trolleys across the country. The largest number consistently is at Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital, Drogheda, County Louth. Last night 48 citizens were on trolleys. Over the summer, there were many reports on the long delays in filling vacancies for junior doctors. Some recent reports have stated some junior doctors from abroad had to return home due to long delays in processing their registrations. Did the Cabinet health sub-committee deal with these issues during the summer recess?
