At least 70,000 expected at rally to demand better healthcare

ORGANISERS of a rally for better healthcare being held in Dublin this weekend will be disappointed if at least 70,000 people do not turn up to demand better health services across the country.

Patients, hospital workers and trade unions will march to the Dáil on Saturday expressing anger in the Health Service Executive over restrictions in hiring staff and mismanagement of services.

The title of the rally will be “Enough! A decent public heath service now!” The group of organisers includes the Dublin Council of Trade Unions and campaign groups.
