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.

The Campaign for a Real Public Health Service welcomes the ballot of health workers in the mid west for industrial action on the issues connected with the HSE's plans to centralise A&E services to Limerick's regional hospital. The campaigners are calling for a yes vote.
Limerick spokesperson, Cian Prendiville, said "The health unions should organise a day of protest, including industrial action by their members. This could be coordinated with the trades councils, which represents all the unions of the region, health campaigns and community groups. A day of protest in opposition to the closure of Ennis & Nenagh A&Es, the overcrowding at Limerick's regional and the attacks on the health service more generally could get huge support throughout the mid west. Already thousands have protested throughout the area. We extend our invitation to the health unions for joint work on this, to show unity of staff, patients and campaigners in defence of our public health service."
