There are currently over six thousand people waiting to see a neurologist in the Belfast Trust - with the longest average waiting time for a new outpatient appointment for a routine, non-urgent appointment 23 months - that's nearly two years. The figure has come to light after 24 year old Kerri-Ann Flanagan contacted the Nolan Show. She's been told she may have Multiple Sclerosis - but has been told she'll have to wait to see a neurologist before the diagnosis is confirmed. Kerri- Ann spoke to our reporter, Nicola Weir.
