University Hospital Galway waiting lists

Summary

Noel Grealish highlights severe waiting lists and hospital penalties at University Hospital Galway, then asks about the health reform Bill; the Taoiseach gives no date but points to a new hospital unit.

With waiting lists spiralling out of control at University Hospital Galway, where more than 10,000 people are on lists awaiting inpatient and outpatient services, I do not know how the Government's penalisation of the hospital to a total of €1.2 million will solve the problem.

No speeches. Please ask about legislation.

Can the Taoiseach tell the House when the health reform Bill will come before the House? Will the Bill address these issues?

I cannot give the Deputy an exact date for it, but I am glad to see that a major unit is being built at University Hospital Galway, which I visited recently.

There is no date for it.
