THE Communist Party of Ireland expresses its solidarity with all those affected, and who will be affected, by this growing health crisis and to the health staff and emergency services on the front line.
The health services throughout the country, from Belfast to Cork, are wholly inadequate, having experienced more than a decade of harsh cuts, bed closures, lack of investment, staff shortages and the priority of private corporate medicine over a decent, well funded public health service.
