The Government is throwing in the towel on health according to a local TD.
Cavan-Monaghan Sinn Féin TD Pauline Tully said it was obvious from the latest budget that the government had thrown in the towel when it comes to fixing the health service. The recruitment embargo put in place by the CEO of the HSE has been triggered directly by this Government's mismanagement of the health budget according to the local deputy. The Cavan Monaghan TD says this will mean there are no additional experienced nurses and healthcare assistants, in spite of hundreds of patients on trolleys and hundreds of thousands on waiting lists.
Deputy Tully added by saying there will be no additional home care workers, in spite of the fact that 5,000 older people are waiting for home support.
