The waiting lists are rising at unprecedented pace.
A midlands senator says we're facing a crisis in healthcare with waiting lists rising at unprecedented pace.
More 107,000 people are waiting over than a year for an outpatient appointment in Ireland - that up 62 per cent on the same time last year.
Almost 11,500 of those are waiting in Tullamore Regional Hospital - an increase of 59 per cent on 2020.
While the figure is as high as 86 per cent in Portlaoise Regional Hospital, with 3,000 people waiting to be seen.
Labour senator Mark Wall says the figures are worrying:
