Galway Bay fm newsroom – People in need of orthodontic care in county Galway can wait as long as three-and-a-half years before receiving treatment.
That’s according to Galway East TD Seán Canney who attributes the long waiting times to delays in filling vacant positions.
The Independent TD said UHG has vacant positions for two orthodontic consultants and one orthodontic therapist.
He’s expressing concern over how long it is taking to fill the positions.
Deputy Canney said that young people in need of orthodontic care are going into their teens without being seen.
