The way the health service is run in this country is a complete joke. They merge departments, put more patients on Waterford’s already stressed hospital, then NINE YEARS later the HSE only start looking at providing the necessary infrastructure. Same with St Patrick's, close a unit with no alternative for the patients. Just all politics and business decisions.

Everything in Waterford is a joke.

When has the HSE not been an absolute joke.

They stumble from one scandal to the next almost on a weekly basis.

Well we are renowned for our cutting sense of humour that's for sure.

Pity the information age allows trolls to hide behind usernames and stir the pot!

The only town in Ireland that rounds up its idiots once a year for a parade and calls it fun.

We should copy the Swiss system and privatise all of the HSE and use a multi payer system.

I agree, don’t think the government running the health care system is working in Ireland. Too many decisions are based on parish pump politics instead of medical decisions.

Perhaps if the HSE did not employ so many non-medical staff then it would be able to afford to provide a better service.

Far, far too many cushy and well paid jobs in admin and ancilliary services. I was surprised to find that WRH is now one of the biggest employers in Waterford.
