Consultants should be public or private, not both.
Agree Shawady.
I had the same experience at the beginning of this year when my GP referred me to an ENT, she gave me a referral letter and said to check with his secretary how long his public list versus private was - and choose myself. His public list was 2 years long, anywhere he sat. His private list was 3 weeks long (same places). Naturally I took the 3 weeks.
I have great respect for doctors.
But two separate waiting lists based on ability to pay is criminal in my opinion.
In my opinion, that is immoral, unChristian, and a shame on our society.

No, there are some that only have public lists.That sounds very simple but also very impractical. If consultants had a choice of being either public or private, there would be no consultnts available for public patients.

Do remember that on top of their pay they are provided with receptionists and support staff and, as far as I know, have their insurance paid. They would have to pay for all that themselves if they only had a public list.
he actually commented sneeringly 'couldnt get a public salary'.
Where's the universal health insurance system that this government promised?
What has happened to this promise??
Every voter should ask Minister Reilly about this promise of universal health insurance the next time he comes knocking looking for votes.
IF ABORTION was available in Ireland there would be a 10-month waiting list, Senator John Crown warned today.

He said: “113,000 patients waiting for a year or more to be seen and 16,600 waiting four years or more to be seen – these are appalling figures.”
Who would wait 4 years or more to be seen?
