Our recent Donegal Live readers survey showed that seven out of every eight respondents were suffering the effects of the cost of living crisis to some degree.
Now we want to look more closely at a particular area of concern, namely that people feel forced to delay non-emergency medical treatments such as dental care, eye care, physiotherapy etc.
Have you put any such treatments on the long finger specifically because of current financial concerns? Please let us know so that we can establish a clear picture of how this is affecting people in Donegal.
