Cancer test results backlog in southeast a matter of 'grave concern', says Taoiseach
Outside the Emergency Department at Unveristy Hospital Waterford at 2-10 pm Tuesday afternoon.
Taoiseach Leo Varadkar has said it is a matter of “grave concern” that up to 6,000 patients are waiting several months for cancer test results.
Mr Varadkar also said it is below the standard of care that the State seeks to provide to people. The Irish Examiner reported people are in a “living nightmare” waiting for their results due to a major backlog in the southeast.
