Roots of the A&E crisis can be traced back to Haughey government of the late 1980s

THE report by UK healthcare consultants Tribal Secta stating that the A&E system is not in crisis is, frankly, a load of rubbish.

Do they not know that 500 people were on hospital trolleys on some nights recently?

!&!!Unfortunately, some of the pro-FF/PD media have taken the report as gospel and, in tandem with Health Minister Mary Harney, will use it as a stick with which to beat our hard-working doctors and nurses and other healthcare workers.
