The former director general of the HSE has said the agency’s winter action plan to reduce waiting lists is “nowhere near sufficient.” 

In a tweet, Tony O’Brien said “multi-year budgets and reversing the self-inflicted consultant recruitment crisis are absolute must do’s” if the HSE want to see hospital waiting lists reduced.
