A Clare member of the HSE Regional Health Forum West claims children are being left in "constant, nagging pain" while on waiting lists. The latest figures from the National Treatment Purchase Fund show over 33,000 people were waiting on appointments at Ennis Hospital and University Hospital Limerick last month. A whole 67 children were on waiting lists in Ennis in June with eight of these waiting over a year for outpatient paediatric services. Ennis Fianna Fáil Councillor Antoinette Baker-Bashua, who's a member of the HSE Regional Health Forum West, has been telling Clare FM's Seán Lyons these children are being denied access to early intervention.
