Due to Covid-19, Ireland has invested more in the public health system. There are many examples of improvements brought about by these investments and from the agility demonstrated during Covid-19.
Sláintecare recommended opening six new elective-only hospitals so that no matter how busy acute hospitals got, surgery and treatment could go ahead as planned for patients who are not emergencies but need timely care regardless. Separating emergency and planned hospital care is one of the fundamentals to address our inhumanely long hospital waiting lists. Yet 5½ years on from Sláintecare’s publication, there are two elective-only hospitals in the planning ‘pipeline’.
A Sláintecare initiative implemented during Covid-19 was to facilitate GPs access to diagnostics for people with medical cards. This initiative needs to be available to everyone, as many of those who end up in emergency departments are going to access essential tests they can’t get elsewhere unless they pay privately. We need to invest in the diagnostic capacity of the entire public health system instead of contracting out this care to the private sector, as is currently the practice.

OpEd No shit Sherlock
OpEd They know the solution but ANGOLA is difficult to change .
OpEd our health is our wealth. Keep inviting people to our country, when we cannot look after our own.

OpEd LeoVaradkar tenure as Taoiseach & leader of finegael has been a disaster for the health service. His mantra is not about reform but about managing the message. Disaster that is costing lives.
OpEd This overcrowding issue has been going on for a long time, remember Enda Kenny's 2007 pre-election campaign ad, yet nothing has changed, where's all the money going that's pumped into the Health service?
OpEd Reforming involves tackling consultants, nursing, doctor, public service unions. All want change as long as it doesn’t effect there members. Also upgrading & down grading certain faculties, public & TDs will support as-long as it doesn’t effect the local 1 & TDs election votes🤷♂️
OpEd something or nothing thats the reality of the goverment welfare system .
OpEd Nothing motivates politicians like voting them back in time & time again despite the fact that they’ve repeatedly fed you broken promises, lies and done füćk all to fix anything while squandering your tax dollars.
