Some patients are having to wait over four years to access orthodontic treatment in Tipperary.
The HSE have admitted that there is currently a 52 month waiting list for services in South Tipp.
In all there are 809 patients awaiting orthodontic and dental treatment – with 45 of them on the list for over 4 years.
The figures came to light in reply to a Parliamentary Question from Deputy Mattie McGrath.
He says it’s a situation which should have been resolved long ago.
