One in four people were waiting longer than recommended to start chemo and blood cancer treatment at Portiuncula.
A Midlands hospital is being highlighted as one of the worst performing in the country for patients waiting to start cancer treatment.
Figures from the Irish Cancer Society shows over one in four people were waiting longer than recommended for chemotherapy and blood cancer treatment at Portiuncula Hospital in Ballinasloe.
It's one of the lowest compliance rates nationally at 73 per cent.
While Tullamore has recorded a full compliance rate effectively, with 95 per cent of patients having their first appointment in within 15 days.
CEO of the Irish Cancer Society, Averil Power, says across the rest of the country, access to treatment has been very uneven:
