Sir, – Why does Ireland have only half the average number of critical-care beds per capita compared to other OECD countries when we spend more than the OECD average on healthcare? (“Ireland has fewer critical care beds than European norm, report shows”, News May 29th).
When our healthcare spend is adjusted for age profile, we find ourselves among the top 10 spenders globally (2022 OECD data).
Why don’t we have a “top 10″ health service? – Yours, etc,
