Stephen Donnelly demands 'seven-day' health services following staffing crisis move
Patients need to be 'seen, treated, scanned, discharged, seven days a week,' Stephen Donnelly said.
The health services have to offer a seven-day service all year round, not just as a crisis measure, Health Minister Stephen Donnelly has said.
It follows a decision by HSE CEO Bernard Gloster to ask HSE staff to volunteer for extra work this bank holiday weekend to avoid a “dreadful position” in busy hospitals.
