There's been a 137% spike in waiting list numbers for local health services in the Midlands since 2019.
New HSE data shows there's 41,500 people waiting for appointments.
The region has the highest number of people on national waiting lists, in 30% of services, including physiotherapy as well as initial assessments for speech and language therapy.
