For United Action to Stop the Cuts The Campaign for a Real Public Health Service (CRPHS) welcomes the decision by the health unions in the Mid-west to pull out of discussions with the HSE and ballot for industrial action about the government's insane and dangerous plans to downgrade Ennis and Nenagh hospitals. The HSE's plans will mean tens of thousands more patients will be crammed into the already overcrowded regional hospital in Limerick. It can- not, and will not cope. There were 21 patients on trolley's there yesterday - these plans will see that number sore till, like happened in Drogheda, the A&E has to close its doors to new patients.

- Union leaders turning a blind eye to health cuts
- HSE plans will cause Limerick's Regional hospital to fail
- Union member & health workers should campaign to make the leaders fight to defend their members and patients
The Limerick branch of the Campaign for a Real Public Health Service has expressed it's disappointment with the agreement of the INO and SIPTU health branch with the HSE not oppose the closure of Ennis & Nenagh casualty and acute surgery department's.
Local spokesperson for the CRPHS, Cian Prendiville, said the decision was a "mistake", accusing the union leaders of "turning a blind eye" to health cuts, and encouraged health workers to "pressurise their union 'leaders' to reverse this decision, and launch a campaign in defence of their members, patients and the health service more generally."
Further headings:
- Why we oppose the HSE plan
- Union leaders 'turning a blind eye' to health cuts
Also of interest is the attached PDF of the GPs' of the region's response to the cuts, outlining their opposition.
