The Labour Party urges immediate action on the shortage of GP’s (local doctors) given the ongoing Caredoc workers strike, which has arisen due to employees picketing after their employers failed to honour the 2023 commitment to salary increases.
Labour Party local representative, Damien Corish once again is highlighting the fact that our health system in the South East is not up to standard or nationwide for that matter.
Mr Corish said; Here in the South East, we are still waiting to attend GPs with waiting times lasting weeks.
“In this region there is currently only one GP per 2,033 people that’s 24 GPs for 48,788 citizens with the north Wexford region similar at one GP for every 2,287 citizens and the national average at one GP 1,700 citizens we need an action plan to end the inequality in our society in terms of Healthcare, we are still holding Labour’s survey in relation to GP services and we were asking you to take the survey so we can work towards an equal health service for all.
You can also check the data for your area on the Labour website.”
