Efforts To Understand Overcrowding At Mid-West Region Hospitals.

Here in the Mid-west region, which includes North Tipperary, there have been considerable complaints about the current state of our health services.

This in mind, Thurles.Info set up cameras, covertly, within the reception area of one of our medical establishment, (Facility shall remain nameless); in an effort to try and understand the problems within our health service, particularly regarding the situation where the number of individuals or objects occupying a particular space exceeds its intended or optimal capacity.

This video, shown above, will now be sent to the area dealing with health complaints procedures, and forwarded to the Minister Mr Stephen Donnelly TD, in the hope that the sending of same is not over complicated and hopefully will not causes adverse frustration within the service itself.
