Calls for action to address lack of urologist at UHK

There are calls for action to address the lack of a urologist at University Hospital Kerry.

Independent councillor Sam Locke brought a motion on the issue before the monthly Kerry County Council meeting.

He says patients now have to go on long waiting lists for hospitals in Cork to get an appointment with a urologist.

Cllr Locke says people are suffering and he is calling for UHK management to address the issue.
