Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 28 February 2019
143. Deputy Louise O'Reilly asked the Minister for Health the number of persons on waiting lists for the endocrinology clinic in St. Columcille's Hospital, Loughlinstown; the number of persons on the waiting lists in February 2016, 2017 and 2018; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [10062/19]
Amharc ar fhreagraI am conscious that waiting times are often unacceptably long and of the burden that this places on patients and their families. In this regard, I am committed to improving waiting times for hospital appointments and procedures.
The information requested by the Deputy is set out below.
