Contingency plan working as patients seen in record time
No one was waiting long to be seen in the hospital’s out-patients’ departments and full clinics were being provided. Nessa Doran O’Reilly, from Drumcondra, Dublin, broke her ankle eight weeks ago. She had a physiotherapy appointment at the hospital and was seen in record time. “I was in and out faster than ever,” she said.
Agnes Watson from Glasnevin, Dublin, who has lung cancer thought her chemotherapy would be cancelled because of the dispute but decided against telephoning to confirm her appointment, thinking that her call would go unanswered.
