In the Dáil, on Tuesday, Clare Fianna Fáil TD Cathal Crowe raised the case of a Clareman with “advanced cancer” who has seen vital surgery delayed as a result of the response to COVID-19. The man is among a growing cohort of people facing delays in receiving care, depite having paid for private health insurance, as private hospitals have been seconded by the State to allow for COVID-19.
Orthopaedic surgeon Joe Sparkes joined Gavin to discuss this on Friday’s Morning Focus.
