Have you been affected by hospital appointment cancellations?

Nearly 300,000 hospital appointments were cancelled across the country last year – an average of more than 772 every day. That number is growing, even as the state makes efforts to cut waiting lists. Have you been affected? Has one of your appointments been cancelled? And what are your thoughts on the health system at the moment? Joining Andrea to discuss is Dr Matthew Sadlier, Chair of the IMO Consultant Committee, Aontú Leader Peadar Tóibín, Dr Brendan O’Shea, Spokesperson for the Kildare faculty of the ICGP and Kildare GP as well as listeners.
