When will the Taoiseach bring in an auditing service in respect of the management of hospitals? University Hospital Limerick has had the longest waiting list for beds for a long time. The latter was not caused by the staff at the hospital, this comes down to a management problem. I said on the first day I came to the Dáil that there is an issue with the management of and the structure in place at University Hospital Limerick. I want a full audit carried out on management and on the progress of their work. This does not relate to the staff or the care they provide. We have a serious management problem. Nurses have left this hospital over issues of management. Our care staff are good but we have a serious problem with management.
