Re: Irish Health Service Waiting Lists

Your view is unhelpful. From what I can see you don't live in ROI so have no personal experience of the Irish Healthcare system.

Re: Irish Health Service Waiting Lists

Re: Irish Health Service Waiting Lists

But we have contacted our TD personally and he contacted the hospital on our behalf but they said they only have 1 Orthopaedic Consultant so we must wait to get on his appt list.

Re: Irish Health Service Waiting Lists

We have had our GP write letters to the hospital, contacted our local TD and he has asked the hospital if there can be any possibility that the appt can be made but no joy with any of the above.

Re: Treaty Rights

You would be better of moving to the UK. There are a not a lot of jobs in Ireland or accommodation.

Great news, Galway is a wonderful city, my second favourite in Ireland. Being a Dub of course no 1 is Dublin.

Re: Seriously considering a move to Ireland

There are a lot of IT jobs in the Galway area and accommodation would be cheaper than the East coast.

Re: Moving to Ireland in one week!

Please bear in mind you will need to consider private health insurance as the Irish medical system does not compare with the NHS. We have typical waiting lists of 1.5 years to see a consultant.

Re: Moving abroad

The waiting lists are frightening throughout the country. You also have to bear in mind that you must pay 50 euros to visit the doctor and prescriptions can be very expensive as well.

Re: Moving abroad

It sounds like you are just coming to Ireland for the benefits, the Irish Healthcare system is not as good as the NHS you would be better off staying in the UK.
