Urgent Health Issues
LGH has been operating with a budget shortfall for several years. With major & bigger cuts in budget declared last autumn and the country now broke, where would the money come from to run Letterkenny General Hospital this year? As a result of LGH not having the money they need to run the hospital to meet the needs of the people of Donegal,
- How many services will be cut back on?
- How many clinics will be cancelled or postponed?
- How many operations will be cancelled?
- How long will the waiting lists get?
- How patients will be on trolleys?
- How many consultants, doctors, nurses & staff will want to remain at LGH if they cannot do the job they are employed to do?
- What impact will the large number of staff who has accepted redundancy have on the services?
- With all this will our Donegal patients be the number one priorty?
Hospitals should be there for sick people!
Some of the urgent issues
- The Loss of 2nd Urologist post for Letterkenny General Hospital because of recruitment embargo.
- The Oncology Services.
- The New A& E Unit.
- The Donegal Hospice.
- Our Mental Health Services
