Parkinson’s patients ‘waiting 12 months for treatment’
Tim Lynch, consultant neurologist at Beaumont and the Mater hospitals, says the "underdevelopment" of clinical services is denying Parkinson's patients' opportunities to improve their quality of life.
"My clinic is booked up until 2006, with a waiting list of nine to ten months, and my colleagues also have waiting lists of up to 12 months," he said.
