In and Outpatient Treatment Suspended From Tomorrow

The Irish Patients Association says it's disappointed by a "blanket decision" to cancel non-emergency care in public hospitals.

Latest figures from National Treatment Purchase Fund show nearly 613,000 people are waiting for outpatient hospital care.
