Health Service: Statements.
How much clearer can it be? People will suffer, be obliged to wait longer or they will die as a result of these bed closures. However, the Minister stated that there is no crisis. On what planet does he live? The position is that there will be fewer beds, fewer staff, longer waiting lists for procedures, equipment will not be replaced or bought and people will die while awaiting treatment. Such a situation is unprecedented and unnecessary.
