Thousands of patients in need of surgery and medical investigations face growing risks due to a virtual freeze on treating waiting list patients at University Hospital Limerick, initiated to alleviate overcrowding.
Marie McMahon from the Mid-West Hospital Campaign expressed her deep concern about the delayed treatments, fearing that patients awaiting surgery or medical investigations could deteriorate without timely intervention.
HSE chief Bernard Gloster's reference to these cancellations as a 'reset' has been met with strong objections, as it overlooks the serious consequences of halting care for so many patients.
The University Limerick Hospitals Group has not provided clarity on when the ongoing suspension of elective surgeries and outpatient services will be lifted, prolonging the uncertainty for affected patients.
