FINE GAEL LIED ABOUT ENDING HOSPITAL TROLLEY CRISIS

On Monday there were 510 patients stuck on hospital trolleys. Yet nearly five years ago, Fine Gael won an election by promising to end the scandal of the trolley crisis. Health Minister Leo Varadkar has also presided over the cancellation of a record number of 13,000 scheduled operations. The cause of this crisis is that they have closed hospital wards, got rid of 5,000 nurses and cut their pay. People Before Profit favours investment in a high quality public service that is funded by progressive taxation. We don't need to pay three times - though health insurance, taxes and hospital charges- to end up on a HSE trolley.
