Update on health Crisis

category national | consumer issues | news report author Tuesday April 17, 2007 10:06author by J Aubrey Report this post to the editors

Worst minister for 'Health and Children' ever

This is the update:-

*INO and Psychiatric nurses will continue to highlight inequity in the
health system. They will use their votes in the General election.

*Impact are planning a clerical workers strike which the health unions will
support.

*The consultants are refusing to re-negogtiate salaries and this is being
buried by the gutterpress behind the nurses strike.

*The junior doctors of Ireland are the only ones in the EU who have to
a 60-70 hour week.
Worst Minister for health ever
Worst Minister for health ever



The health system has been deliberately crumbled and a two-tier
system of non professional HSE workers (who do not negoatiate
salary) are 'in charge'.

Two things :-

SIPTU have failed to support the fractured health service and are aware of:

1. The amalgamation of hospitals to facilitate private profiteering; and the non
professional bodies who will benefit from privatisation- including church organisations.
2.SIPTU are welcoming mary harney to their nurses conference in direct contradiction of
the principles of Solidarity and are therefore scabs.

Bertie Ahern has kept out of this- did anyone notice?

In PD terms the Minister for Justice is facing rebellion from both Judges and
Barristers on his overhaul of the criminal Justice system.

The information regarding iMPACT and Junior doctors is verifiable at source.

The state has abdicated care of the individual in a relentless seeking of
profit and People , especially effected by the amalgamations:
Cavan/Monaghan/ Our Lady's in Crumlin/St Lukes should be aware
of how the state has let down a generation. The amalgamations
are principally about the ability of private enterprise to attract drug
companies and high-end consultancies and not about patient care.

The failure of Government policy in health care is one of the deepest
betrayals of this generation.
