Varadkar who was speaking on RTÉ’s This Week programme, said the Government has made positive changes in regards to addressing the current issues within the sector.
Speaking on the Radio One programme the Taoiseach said the current government added an extra 1,000 beds since 2014 and that waiting lists have come down in its time.
The Taoiseach stated that the Government introduced an extra 1,000 beds following the previous Fianna Fáil Government’s decision to cut 2,000 beds.
He added that he will outline the changes that the Government has made during the impending election campaign.
