Cuts and closures in the guise of health ‘reform’ Implementing the latest HSE/Teamwork Report will effectively terminate four of the South's acute public hospitals. The Government is looking to a US hospital chain (UPMC) to open a co-located for profit hospital to replace the closed public hospital beds.

Jump To Comment: 1The location of the Orwellian named "Teamwork Report" is given below and this link: http://hse.ie/eng/News/National_Tab/Teamwork_Report_for....html -on the HSE website announces its publication as 9th June 2009, yet when you open the PDF file it is clearly marked 15th May 2008.
Looks like it is just a coincidence that the election is over and it is now published. The report itself goes into never ending nausea about better health care and choice. You'd swear from reading it that they were actually concerned about people health and welfare but not very suprisenly it advocates an "integrated" health service with liberal usage of the word "community" all over it, in other words the closing of all the regional hospitals and opening up of a central one which will be lo behold private.
And it will be tough luck if you have a car accident, farming accident or any other type of emergency is the very large rural hinterlands of Cork and Kerry but hey that won't be an issue simply because these experts 'Horwath Consulting' say so.
But just in case the report disappears, its attached here too.
