The management of inpatient and daycase waiting lists for patients awaiting public health care is based on the principle that after urgent and cancer patients are treated, then clinically assessed routine patients should be seen in chronological order (i.e. longest waiter first).
In relation to the specific query raised by the Deputy, as this is a service matter it has been referred to the HSE for direct reply.
