PRESS RELEASE -
Having attended the public protest march in Ballinasloe at the weekend, Fine Gael Longford/ Westmeath Senator Nicky McFadden congratulated the Portiuncula Action Committee for organising the hugely attended public event against the downgrading of services at Portiuncula Hospital in Ballinasloe.
Senator McFadden went on to compliment Dr. John Barton on his passionately delivered address to the meeting. “When in Government, we in Fine Gael will be committed to keeping open our local hospitals including Mullingar, Roscommon and Portiuncula. Under our FairCare proposal put forward by our Spokesperson on Health Dr. James Reilly TD we will deliver a health service that is fair and that will eliminate the two-tier system of service delivery. …read on or make a comment
FG, through FairCare, will deliver improved healthcare services for the Irish people that are accountable, equitable and deliver real results
Speaking in advance of the Fine Gael FairCare public meeting in Mullingar Park Hotel on Tuesday, 30th March, Senator Nicky McFadden said: ‘Over the past ten years our health service has become a complete shambles with excessively long out-patient waiting lists and short notice operation cancellations just the tip of the iceberg. The result of this appalling situation is that there is an average of 300 sick people on trolleys in hospitals across Ireland on any given day and things are only getting worse. Recently we witnessed the disaster in Tallaght Hospital whereby 58,000 X-rays were unread by a radiologist and thousands of GP referral letters were not even opened. Such are the examples of severely incompetent management by the Minister and the HSE.’
