Workers from the IMPACT union marched from Cork University Hospital to the HQ of the HSE on Model Farm Road today at 1 pm to protest against the ongoing recruitment embargo being orchestrated by the HSE.

The Mercy Hospital is itself at the centre of a confrontation about its new A & E unit which has yet to see a patient - we kid you not! - due to the financial restrictions imposed on the hospital by the HSE and Mercy Management. see http://www.wsm.ie/news_viewer/4013.

Jump To Comment: 1 2There was a good turn-out at this march, given it was happening out of town and at lunchtime. It's good to see that workers in what's left of the public health system really care about what's happening in their workplaces. The men and women who took their lunch time to make this protest really deserve our support, because they're defending our collective future well-being. I hope these protests continue, and I wish them success in waking people up to the stealthy privatisation agenda being implemented by Harney, Drumm, and a lionised wee cabal of capitalist senior consultants who are having a risk-free sham-competitive little gated 'market' created for them. We'll need a lot more out on the streets though to call time on the Blackrock Clinic, the Pinkrock Clinic and their elitist likes throughout our two-tier health system. The road not the footpath the next time!
