Occupational therapy services across the West and Northwest are now at breaking point.
That's according to Roscommon/Galway TD, Dr Martin Daly, who says unsafe staffing levels are leaving thousands waiting.

Fianna Fail Deputy Daly says this region has some of the worst figures in the country - and action's urgently needed.
