Shameful: Close to 600,000 Irish people are now waiting for hospital appointments




It’s getting worse, a lot worse. People are languishing on trolleys and fed up waiting on endless lists around the country.

Now, the Irish Hospital Consultants Association have released stark figures that show the true extent of the problem that Irish people are facing in their own land.

Speaking at the organisation’s annual conference, its president, Dr Donal O’Hanlon, announced that close to 570,000 people were waiting to be seen by a consultant.

Many believe that the latest figures show just how inept the Minister for Health Simon Harris is with multiple calls for his resignation.

Meanwhile, Ireland is expected to take in hundreds of more migrants by the end of 2019 even though the government blatantly can’t look after our own people first.
