Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

Neurology and Neurorehabilitation Healthcare Strategies: Discussion

Ms Magdalen Rogers:

There are over 3,000 people on a waiting list to see a neurologist in Galway, which would be the nearest place to the woman mentioned. That is obviously why she was sent to Sligo, which has a waiting list of 782. With all due respect to our neurology colleagues, who are trying to prioritise care, even operating to the best of their ability, trying to get through those clinic waiting lists is extremely challenging.
