What a difference a year makes for Labour
The party leader is quoted as saying that the “decision was taken after a health watchdog HIQA report”. So now HIQA speaks ex-cathedra on all things medical as far as Labour is concerned.
Here’s what Sean Sherlock had to say about HIQA when it was announced that they would undertake an investigation into Mallow hospital: “HIQA fulfilled the HSE’s agenda by undermining the accident and emergency services and acute services in Ennis, and I believe a similar process is being embarked upon with Mallow. We believe this is a process that seeks to undermine the accident and emergency and acute services, and plays into the HSE agenda. HIQA are like the military wing of the HSE, the two work arm and arm, there’s no doubt about.” What a difference a year makes, or can it be possible that crossing the floor of the Dáil actually turns everything on its head?
