Christopher O'Sullivan (Cork South-West, Fianna Fail)

I thank Senator O'Loughlin. If she passes on the details to my office, I absolutely commit that they will make their way to the Department and the Minister and ensure it is prioritised. Despite all of the great improvements in the reduction of waiting lists, the fact that 12 people have been waiting over 12 months cannot just be a footnote. These are 12 individuals with stories, families and loved ones. We cannot just put it to the bottom of a page as a footnote. It is very important and they are the ones we really need to get to and improve. I thank Senator O'Loughlin for raising the issue. We will get the details to the Department and I hope we will have a good outcome on it.
