Comments on: Mary Harney - your health service is killing people http://www.headrambles.com/2007/01/11/mary-harney-your-health-service-is-killing-people/ Rambles around the head of an Irish Grandad Fri, 29 Aug 2008 18:59:06 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.1 By: Cara http://www.headrambles.com/2007/01/11/mary-harney-your-health-service-is-killing-people/#comment-34371 Cara Tue, 06 May 2008 11:27:22 +0000 http://www.headrambles.com/2007/01/11/mary-harney-your-health-service-is-killing-people/#comment-34371 My 30 year old friend has just been told she will have to wait at least 6 months to have a lump removed from her breast, she has already had breast cancer and hoped it was gone, now this news has really knocked her for six. She asked about going private which will cost her €1,500 to €2,000. Even then she will have to wait up to 3 months for surgery. This girl could die whilst waiting for this surgery, how many more women in Ireland are under a death sentence because of the way the health system is being run here, we don't seem to value human life anymore in Ireland. Does anyone know if the waiting lists are as long in Northern Ireland and England?

Does anyone know if the waiting lists are as long in Northern Ireland and England?

The real disgrace with the health service is that consultants are killing people by their constant refusal to change their working practices. That is a disgrace and kills people every day.
