Mahon Hospital Another Failure of Fianna Fail Health Policy
South Central Candidate Chris O Leary, expressed amazement at the threatened closure of the Cork Medical Centre based in Mahon and described it as another symptom of the failure of Fianna Fail health policy. He called on the company to do their utmost to reallocate the staff to other positions in other medical facilities.
Chris O Leary said: “I am amazed that with all the fanfare over the opening of the Cork Medical centre by former Health Minister, Mary Harney, last year that staff have now been issued with protective notice. There were high hopes in the area for further job creation and investment when the hospital opened its doors last year. It looks like another failure of Fianna Fail Health policy,”
“There are 75 people employed at this facility and I am urging the company to do its utmost to ensure that these people find employment either within the company or in other medical facilities in Cork. We cannot afford any more job losses of this scale in Mahon or elsewhere.”ENDS
