Yes, it is expensive but how much has the state being sued so far
because of the flaws in our Health System?

I hear Australia has a good system

http://www.medicareaustralia.gov.au/about/whatwedo/health-system/index.jsp

There is a levy imposed. Like I think 1% of your income.
But if a system is good it is well worth it.

A lot people go on about the physical aspect, of the system.
If a person gets cancer, their survival greatly depends on where they live.
But People tend to forget Mental Health in Ireland, which is problem too.
You cannot afford to go crazy in Ireland unless you
are rich or have good connections, to get into a proper facility?

I find this worrying because they a many Irish people
with mental health problems, even if the subject is quite taboo here.

The only thing good about health is that max you pay for tablets a month is
About 85euros a month. Some tablets may be 1000euro if you have a few sick in
Your family.

I think nurseâ€™s work very hard. But they are doing ten jobs.
It is not their fault that they are understaffed?
What an ungrateful job they have.
Like a waitress only more complicated and they get more abuse
instead and no tip.

gaspipe

are you insane??
its complete bullsh!t, they cant even diagnose there patients without fuking it up! not to mention the dirt of the hospitals, the price for health care is a disgrace, theres not even enough beds in most of the hospitals in this country! the amount of people that died of cancer because they were wrongly diagnosed, monkeys could do a better job!
and when all this is goin on that stupid ugly fat ***** is spendin hundreds on her hair and nails, not that its gonna help her fuked up appearance! she could of saved so much money, and seriously helped her appearance if shed just gone for a paper bag for her head, and a diet!

The Irish Health Services are just about as adequate and excellant as our banks.

Sshhhh! It's Podge and Rodge

We could have a great health service if it hadn't been so badly mismanaged for so many years. We have a small population and we should have a universal free healthcare system but this will never happen because of incompetence.

* We abolished the Health Boards a few years back in order to streamline the system but not one manager was made redundant!

* 40% of our total health budget goes to pen pushers!

* Consultants are paid far too much and if this wasn't bad enough they're allowed to hold private consultations in public hospitals!

* The reason why our hospitals are so dirty is because nurses think they're too posh to wash these days. Now that they have their degrees they don't think it's their job to wipe bodily fluids from floors or get rid of a bit of dust. In the old days you had a matron who ran a tight ship and made sure her nurses kept the wards spotlessly clean. These days nobody gives a stuff.

* We have one health system for the rich and another for the poor. If you need to see a consultant through the public system you could be waiting up to 3 years to see him. If you flash the cash he'll miraculously be able to see you first thing in the morning!

What a country!

Adequate? Excellent? Give me a break!

The health services in this country is an utter disgrace and a shambles

Edit: Well said *Fairy*!!!

Look at it this way, if I had two broken legs I would find the strength to crawl to Northern Ireland before I would let an ROI hospital work on me.
