Cutbacks hit the most vulnerable

THE thought of children in need of chemotherapy being turned away from Our Lady’s Hospital for Sick Children because of bed and staff shortages is too heart-rending for words.

Once more, Government cuts are hitting some of the most vulnerable in society. The children at the centre of this appalling scenario are clinging to life.

There is an overwhelming case to prioritise investment in the Children’s Hospital. Otherwise, if the required doses are not administered when recommended, the outcome could be bleak.
