Final push to achieve inpatient waiting targets at city public hospitals
Galway Bay fm newsroom – It’s hoped special targets to tackle the inpatient waiting list at the city’s public hospitals will be met by year end.
The Chief Operating Officer of the Galway Roscommon Hospital Group Tony Canavan says he’s optimistic it can be achieved in the coming weeks.
The target means that no-inpatient would wait for treatment longer than eight months.
Mr. Canavan says significant progress has been made in outpatients with 10 thousand patients now awaiting appointment compared to 43 thousand waiting in December 2012.
