Danny Healy-Rae (Kerry, Independent) | Oireachtas source

The Government committed €950 million extra to the HSE this year. Without fear or favour I can safely state there has been no improvement in the numbers waiting for cataracts procedures or orthodontic treatment. Where is the money going? How is it that University Hospital Kerry, Tralee is still overcrowded with people on trolleys in the middle of the summer? Community hospitals that were built new in Dingle and Kenmare are still only half opened. Where is the money going? Is there any accountability? We have four ministers for health. There is nothing happening and no improvement as far as we are concerned in Kerry and indeed many parts of Cork as well.
