Wednesday's front pages focus on a range of stories, from a HSE initiative being scrapped, leading to 4,000 people per month on a waiting list, to a "mini cabinet" being set up in every local authority.
The Irish Times reports up to 4,000 additional patients per month could be placed on a regional waiting list to see a consultant after an initiative aimed at improving access to healthcare was scrapped, an internal Health Service Executive report warned.
The Irish Examiner reports that "Mini cabinets" to give councillors more power are to be established in every local authority, as part of a major shakeup of local democracy.
The Echo leads with a couple whose baby died two days after he was born at Cork University Maternity Hospital, suing the HSE in the High Court.
