Dublin's Tallaght Hospital and Limerick Regional Hospital have slipped into the bottom three of the HSE's league table of worst-performing hospitals in the country, according to irishhealth.com.
Limerick Regional Hospital has an overall average waiting time of around 18 months for an outpatient appointment in any specialty, while the waiting time for an outpatient appointment in Tallaght is around 250 days on average across all specialties, the statistics show. The HSE's newly-published HealthStat figures, for the month of March, show that there are three hospitals given a "red light" by HSE assessors, meaning their performance is unsatisfactory and requires urgent attention.
Mayo General Hospital remains in the red light category, where it has been since January, the first month for which HealthStat figures were compiled.
