Taoiseach Micheál Martin has warned his own TDs and Senators to brace themselves for a “shocking” winter in the health service because of a backlog of cancer cases after Covid.
The reason Mr Martin issued the grim warning was because the health service is seeing an increasing delay in cancer care that the health service is battling to catch up on.
The Fianna Fáil leader gave the warning at a private meeting of Fianna Fáil parliamentary party members.
