A project that sees hospital consultants carry out virtual consultations with cardiac patients is to be rolled out across Ireland in an effort to shorten long waiting lists and ease pressure on emergency departments.

Health Minister Stephen Donnelly made the announcement as a report was published announcing the achievements of 123 projects funded through the Slaintecare Integration Fund, launched in 2019.
