A Clare Oireachtas Health Committee member insists stagnating waiting lists at Ennis Hospital point to the need for an expansion of services at the facility.
Outpatients waiting lists for adults at University Hospital Limerick have dropped by nearly 12% in the past year - while the number of adults waiting for a year and a half or more has halved.
Problems appear to be persisting at Ennis Hospital however as the number of adults on the waiting list there has risen from 1,030 to 1,196.
Ennistymon Fine Gael Senator Martin Conway has been telling Clare FM's Seán Lyons while reductions at UHL are welcome, the numbers waiting for an appointment in Ennis indicate more services and investment are required in the county town.
