Listen Back: Emyvale man says health system is 'completely broken'. A Co Monaghan man spoke out about a recent experience he had with his elderly father at Cavan General Hospital.
After waiting for an ambulance for over two hours; Adrian Corrigan said he was left with no other option but to take his father directly to hospital.
According to Adrian, his 89 year old father didn't even receive a trolley; instead he spent two days on a plastic chair. It was then discovered he has a cracked hip.
As a result of this experience, Adrian says his father's health has deteriorated drastically due to the trauma of it all.
Adrian says this experience is no fault of the great staff at Cavan Hospital, instead, it is a direct result of Government failure.
He says the health system is completely flawed; and something urgently must be done to address the situation.
Jodie Curran has been speaking with the Emyvale native.
