Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Disabilities Assessments (26 Nov 2019)

Margaret Murphy O'Mahony: What the Minister of State is trying to do is obviously not working.

Margaret Murphy O'Mahony: In 2011, the then Taoiseach, Deputy Enda Kenny, vowed to bring an end to hospital overcrowding. All these years later, that vow has still not come to fruition. Many other promises made at the time did not come to fruition either but today is not the day to go into all of that. Never before have so many people been waiting on trolleys.
