Episode Details

University Hospital Waterfords dermatology services face staffing shortages, leading to extended wait times for patients. With two consultant positions unfilled, the average wait for an initial visit is now around 160 days, and follow-ups add another 29 days. The hospital is addressing the issue by bringing in GPs with dermatology interest, seeking locums, and collaborating with training programs. While progress has been made, reducing long waits by over half since January, overall average wait times remain at 15 months. The hospital apologizes for the delays and is actively working on solutions.
