Government is failing those already in country

At a time when public opinion is “driving” politicians to make decisions in relation to refugees/asylum seekers/migrants - we have a situation here where an elderly man has been on a hospital trolley for five days awaiting a bed.

The Government of this country have “failed the elderly, sick and young.

In addition they have until now failed to address the situation of asylum seekers in direct provision.

How can they be expected to cater for the great needs of thousands more refugees?
