The targets for reducing waiting lists were missed last year, though the HSE and the department said that 2022 saw the first annual reduction since 2015 “as well as significant reductions in waiting times”.Mr Watt wrote to Mr Gloster on March 10th raising a number of matters relating to waiting lists.
In his letter Mr Watt also raised “the importance of the successful implementation of modernised acute scheduled care pathways”. Mr Watt said: “However, despite endorsement and allocation of funding, €38 million non-recurrent in the 2022 plan and €43 million recurrent in Budget 2023, the department has not seen any progress nor detailed plans related to the implementation of these care pathways and, to date, has no evidence that their intended impact on waiting lists can be realised.
