‘Our voices will be heard’, patient group declares

A patient advocacy group seeking 24/7 cardiac care in Waterford has warned the Government: “We have not gone away — our lives matter and out voices will be heard.”

The group is inviting the public to gather at Ballybricken in the city at 2pm on January 14. The South East Patient Advocacy Group (SEPAG) said round-the-clock cardiac care is a life and death issue.

“We already sent a very strong message to this Government that we will not stand idly by and allow them to continue to strip away our vital services,” SEPAG said.
