Hospital Waiting Lists
Dail Éireann — 2026-07-09
============================================================

Paul Murphy (PBP), Dublin South-West

The Minister has said she believes in equality for every baby born in our public maternity hospitals and I absolutely agree. However, the EY report into CHI shows that children whose parents can afford to go private are being prioritised for essential surgery in our public hospitals. Surely the same equality should apply to children as well.
