Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin (Cavan-Monaghan, Sinn Fein)

While one would wish the health service situation in the North to be better than it is, at least we are able to assess it from the data published by the health Department in the Six Counties. Is the Minister aware the Health Service Executive decided to suppress the publication of details on the length of time patients must wait for access to given services in this jurisdiction? This was reported in June by the website, www.ratemyhospital.ie, when the HSE admitted it suppressed the publication of vital information on how long average patients have to wait for outpatient appointments in public hospitals.
