900,000 out of our entire population is insane. Almost a fifth of the country is on a waiting list
‘Can’t be fixed over night.’
Well I came dangerously close to losing my eyesight while on a waiting list🙄. Absolute disaster of a health service.
My on the list waiting for a knee operation.
It’s driving me crazy.
I might be really wrong but are consultants not contributing partly to this issue by doing public clinics only a couple of days a week? I know it’s their right but surely the waiting lists could be somewhat tackled if they were working exclusively in the public system? I stand to be corrected here and am aware there are wait times for different reasons also.
At this stage the hse shud be dismatnled, everyone let the fuck go, and start a new system from the ground up, coudlnt beany worse then what we “have”, which is notjing but a fucking dumpster fire we keep trhowing money at
Apparently they expect 1.5 million to join the waiting list this year and 1.7 million appointments to be held, to reduce the total figure on the list by 200k. That was the goal anyway. Based on those figures, looks like there is a goal of around 32k appointments per week (1.7m/52)
Isn’t everyone at risk of dying?
If they wait long enough the problem will fix it self…. 😔
By the sound of it…
20% of the country on a waiting list, running out of ambulance staff, closing A&Es, nurses and consultants leaving, gross miscalculations and overspend on a hospital in an already over-congested location, 10,000s of people unable to register for a GP. What a fine health sector we have.
A lot more people should avail of the Primary Care reimbursement scheme if they can.
Go to credit union and get loan, travel up north or go private, get it done and get reimbursed and pay off loan.
No, we shouldn’t have to do it, and its not fixing the hse waiting list problem, but if you are in pain and things are getting worse, it’s worth considering.
Is there anything to be said for another lockdown?
More reason to stay healthy and get health insurance than anything…
Have to say, my mam went to hospital last week and although she didn’t get home until 11.30pm she got all her tests done with results. She also had to go for a scan a few days later (hot an appointment within 3 days) and last night at about 8pm she got a call from the hospital to say she got the all clear, yeay. That’s was The Lourdes in Drogheda and then Dundalk for the scan. They were actually waiting for her when she got there so faor play all around. The few times I’ve been in the Lourdes they were also very very good. I think they bump you up in order of importance maybe.
