People are ignoring signs of cancer and hiding broken bones because they are afraid to go to hospitals, a Tipperary GP has warned.
Dr Margaret O’ Riordan, a GP in Ballingarry and past president of the Irish College of General Practitioners said she was “extremely worried” about the impact of the pandemic on general health.
