High numbers on trolleys, late discharges which have led to the loss of 135,000 bed days already this year, and 6,200 people awaiting home care supports compound the issue. Will the Minister for Health advise when the HSE's national service plan will be published and in place in order that the correct preparations can be made by service providers?
