Kenny calls for immediate response to A&E crisis

THE Government should bring together consultants, GPs, nurses and other key health sector staff to hammer out immediate short-term responses to the A&E crisis.

The call came yesterday from Fine Gael leader Enda Kenny, who claimed the Government’s record on the matter was one of dismal failure.

Tánaiste Mary Harney’s so-called 10-point plan to tackle the crisis was not working, he told the Dáil.
