People need also to be aware of their rights as patients. We can all make a little difference by going to the following site and signing the petition: http://www.activecitizenship.net/content/view/56/78/ It’s at least a start!

Don't want to even start. We live in west Cavan, where the nearest hospital is over an hour away down impossible one lane roads. No helicopter service. Developing countries and war zones have better health services and access to hospitals, while we're all supposed to be so rich here that we're sniffing cocaine off toilet seats every night? Unbelievable. We have a special-needs son; we waited four years for occupational therapy. We're still waiting for the educational psychologist appointment we requested when he was first diagnosed, almost five years ago. Ridiculous. I can't believe this poor girl is still fighting health services when all this started in October--thank you for sharing her story and I'll certainly be supporting her too. Thanks!
