A vigil will be held outside University Hospital Waterford this evening highlighting the need for 24/7 cardiac care in the South East region.
It comes after a Waterford man died at the weekend while being transferred to University Hospital Cork for cardiac care.
A national meeting was held last Saturday by the Still Waiting Health campaign - who have organised this evening's vigil - where the lack of services was highlighted.
The health minister, Simon Harris, told the Dáil on Wednesday that hospital management in Waterford have been given extra money for the service, but it's up to them to spend it.
Una Dunphy is a member of the still waiting campaign in Waterford:
"There's a lot of anger on the streets of Waterford about this issue and it's not just Waterford, it's the entire South East region.
"We're really badly affected by the fact that we don't have proper services for five hundred thousand people.
"The vigil starts a five o'clock to signify when the cath lab is shut [for the weekend]."
