100 doctors go public to highlight Mallow cutbacks

DOCTORS will go public today to highlight how funding and staffing cuts are threatening their town’s hospital.

The move comes a day before more doctors attend a public meeting in Cork city to discuss the crisis in the health service.

Representatives of up to 100 GPs from the north Cork area will address a press briefing in Mallow this morning to discuss what they say are attempts to downgrade services at Mallow General Hospital.
