Positive story on health services

I WOULD like to share with you a positive story about our local health services.

Recently, whilst in the middle of her Leaving Cert exams, my 18-year-old daughter complained of pains in her stomach.

After a couple of days without improvement, we attended our GP. She examined my daughter and felt it might be appendicitis. She gave us a letter to attend A&E if her condition worsened and a prescription for pain relief medication. She also contacted us by phone later that evening, and again the following day, to enquire about her.
