Ireland’s ailing health service has been one of the hot topics in the 2016 general election campaign so far.

The Irish Times wants to hear from readers abroad, particularly doctors and nurses, about how the health service compares where you live. Are there as many patients on trolleys? Are waiting lists as long? What ideas and initiatives work in the health system where you live, that you think Ireland should adopt to improve services for patients here?
