Health Services Waiting Lists
Dail Éireann — 2022-12-08
============================================================

Aindrias Moynihan (FF), Cork North-West

With many opticians, you can expect to wait from three to five weeks to get an appointment for an eye test. I have raised this with a number of opticians locally and across the area. They are struggling to get enough optometrists; as a result, people have to wait longer to get a service. Has the Minister's attention been drawn to it? Is there a way of improving those wait times for people?
