Nurse, doctor and bed numbers all fell under FF. That’s not investing in a health service. I’m in Beaumont regularly at the moment. The ward I visit is a disgrace. Impossible to find a doctor, talk to a doctor, arrange a meeting etc. There is very poor communication, the patients are highly vulnerable and are left in the dark about their own care half the time. Other times doctors have so little time they fly through things leaving patients unsure of what’s happening. The system is under so much pressure that the care ends up being shit and can’t really be any other way.
A nasty piece of work who had terrorised the local community. Not too many years shed for him around the area despite the barbaric nature of his death.
Look I’m no FF supporter and clearly numbers fell when the wealth of the country fell but prior to that the health budget had doubled in a short number of years.
I suppose my point was that the notion that the problem is purely lack of money is simplistic.
