Following on from the blog about Darren - (Ireland) - Not such a free state! - i have delved deeper into what exactly is going on.
It appears that the HSE have issued a circular stipulating that patients with medical cards should only be provided with emergency dental care! This means that hundreds of medical card holders will be denied a range of routine treatments including fillings, extractions, the provision of dentures and treatment for gum disease.
Effectively people who are unable to pay for treatment are being excluded from the healthcare system. An absolute disgrace and no doubt in breach of every citizens rights.
I am meeting with Colin Bell tomorrow to discuss my concerns, and indeed my anger with this ruling.
If humanly possible I will go as far as to bring this issue to the European Court of Justice.
You may also be aware that the government are introducing a bill to cut single parent benefit. Single parents will no longer be able to claim this benefit once their children reach the ripe old age of 13.
Another attack on the most needy in society. Another abomination.
It is surely time to rise up and show this government that these aggressive attacks on the most needy in society will no longer be tolerated!
