Hospital crisis will 'negatively impact' waiting list targets, HSE says

Dr Denis McCauley from the Irish Medical Organisation does not think the waiting list targets will be met.

The Health Service Executive (HSE) is warning that its waiting list targets may not be met this year, due to a recent rise in emergency department attendances, and the number of Covid patients in hospital. 

The HSE says the situation in Irish hospitals will "negatively impact" this year's waiting list targets.
