The dire state of the Irish health service is revealed once again, as over 5,700 people have been forced to wait three months or longer for a potentially life-saving bowel cancer test.

The total number of patients waiting is 5,731.

The shocking statistic means that patients who may already be suffering from bowel cancer might experience a delay in diagnosis, which may in turn lead to poor outcomes when compared with early detection.

The crisis continues.
