HSE Counseling Wait Times Surge | Cork News

HSE counseling wait times are hitting crisis levels—with over 6,000 people stuck on lists, up 47% since 2021. Over 1,700 have waited six months or more, including trauma survivors whose delays risk worsening their mental health. While officials claim most wait less than six months, primary care counseling lists have swelled by 57%, exposing deep workforce shortages. New funding aims to expand services for men, LGBTQ+ folks, and youth—but critics demand urgent action: remove financial barriers and set clear targets to slash wait times and meet real need.
