Laois and Offaly Children Waiting Six And Half Hours For Physiotherapy

New HSE figures show some of the longest delays in the State for primary care services.

Children in Laois and Offaly are up to six and a half years for a physiotherapy assessment and six years for dietetics support. 

This comes as new HSE figures show some of the longest delays in the State for primary care services aimed at children with mild to moderate developmental or mental health difficulties.

Nationally, children are waiting up to 11 years for psychology assessments and more than nine years for occupational therapy in other regions.

Cork East TD, Liam Quaide says all children waiting for over a year were put in a '+52 week' category.
