Limerick East): STD clinics are operated on a walk-in basis and on an appointment basis. In relation to appointment clinics in two health board areas, urgent cases are seen quickly, the waiting period for less urgent cases can be up to three weeks. Efforts are being made by these boards to develop extra clinics to meet the demand.
