Seanad: Commencement Matters: Hospital Waiting Lists (23 Jun 2016)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: I thank the Minister of State for her response. I am glad she acknowledged that waiting lists in Galway are higher than anywhere else. The short-term needs must be addressed and I hope the NTPF can examine prioritising Galway.
