Council Regulation on Procedures for amending the Sirene Manual: Referral to Joint Committee. - Health Service Reform: Statements (Resumed).

 

I blithely accept this situation because the health service is so much better than it was in my day. There is a huge difference between the current position and that which obtained 30 years ago, when I was in my 20s. It is fantastic, but people's expectations are so much higher now. However, I was confronted with what I saw yesterday, with the smell and with the lack of shower and lavatory facilities. It would be good if the Minister and Ministers of State visited these wards. Perhaps they have done so. They should listen to the nurses and try to do something. I know that would be very much appreciated.
