Today’s revelations show that the real hospital waiting list in Ireland is over 160,000 completely contrary to the official figure released of just 81,000.

The RTE investigates report will be shown tonight after the 9 o’clock news and will show that the real figure for waiting lists doubles that of what’s released by the National Treatment Purchase Fund (NTPF).

Minister for Health Simon Harris said he’s ashamed and heartbroken at the revelations and crisis, and he said he’ll start using private hospitals to catch up on the list.
