Over 400 patients in South Tipperary will have to wait at least 18 months for treatment for ENT related issues.
The figures from the HSE have been described as totally unacceptable, particularly as many of those waiting to be seen are children.

At present there are six Ear, Nose & Throat clinics each month in Clonmel.
The statistics on ENT services were provided in reply to a parliamentary question from Tipperary TD Mattie McGrath.
He says the waiting times have to be tackled.
