Exclusive: Admission comes in testimony in case of woman waiting more than four years for appointment
A single mother of six children has been waiting four years and four months to see a consultant for suspected multiple sclerosis in Northern Ireland as officials admit in leaked court papers that health waiting lists have spiralled “out of control”.
Although referred to a neurologist in June 2017, Eileen Wilson, 47, has still not received a date to see the specialist despite suffering choking episodes that leave her “blue in the face”, loss of muscle control and a multitude of other symptoms.
