Acute Hospitals dealing with ‘more patients than ever before’

While data show progress in reducing healthcare waiting lists, acute hospitals like Tallaght University Hospital (TUH) are called to treat “more patients than ever before.”

The National Treatment Purchase Fund (NTPF) monthly report showed in December that almost 85pc of patients have been waiting for less than a year to get their appointment, and that there was a 12pc reduction in patients waiting over 12 months.
