SIPTU CONDEMNS HSE WEST OVER CANCELLATION OF GALWAY MEETING

Date Published: 28-Aug-2011

SIPTU is condemning the HSE West for the sudden cancellation of a meeting scheduled for next Tuesday in Merlin Park in the city.

It was expected that the HSE would reveal their budgetary plans for the last quarter of 2011, at the meeting.

The Union’s Acting Health Division Organiser says he predicts that without contingency funding there will be temporary hospital closures in the West of Ireland.

Paul Bell also says it’s a disgrace that such an important meeting was cancelled at short notice without explanation.
