James Reilly (Dublin North, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I will not go into detail now, but I can certainly revert to the Deputy on this issue. A plan is being put to place to address this problem and to ensure those waiting longest are seen first. I will get back to the Deputy in regard to the exact plan as it applies to ENT services at Waterford Regional Hospital. That situation will be addressed in much the same way as we are addressing similar situations elsewhere in the country.
