Your local health service is in terminal decline

NEXT week the Minister for Health will confirm the worst — the appalling standard of services in Dublin and the eastern region will be applied to the State as a whole.

There will be no local health boards your services will be managed from hundreds of miles away.

If you are in Donegal or Achill, your health service HQ is likely to be in Tullamore maybe Galway, if you're lucky.
