CON HAYES,
Madam, - In the year since the Mid Western Health Board's Dr Kelleher used local airwaves to announce the imminent appointment of two consultant rheumatologists, our 2,443 chronic arthritis sufferers have endured a total of 18 million hours of pain while awaiting the actual appointments - which have not yet been advertised. - Yours, etc.,
CON HAYES, Rheumatology-for-Limerick, Revington Park, Limerick.
