Health Waiting Lists: Motion [Private Members] (1 Mar 2022)

Verona Murphy: ...are forced to endure when faced with illness. Only three months ago, the Wexford Peoplenewspaper carried the story of a woman who lodged an official complaint with the HSE after being told she would have to wait 15 months to explore a heart issue. This was not a 15-month wait for a complex operation but to be fitted with a heart monitor. It is 15 months of worry, anguish, anxiety and...
