A public protest against the closure of an operating theatre at Wexford General Hospital will be held outside the hospital on Saturday afternoon.
Cllr. Anthony Kelly of Sinn Fein is calling on Wexford’s Oireachtas members to immediately come out and call for this decision to be reversed.
“I’m calling on the people of County Wexford, irrespective of their political beliefs, to come out and support this event,” said Cllr. Kelly, who added, “The buck clearly stops with the Minister for Health.”
“Local people must stand up for their services. The Wexford people have never stood idly by while their hospital was endangered in the past and I know they won’t do so now.”
Everybody is invited to attend the protest and are asked to assemble by the traffic lights outside the grounds of Wexford General Hospital at 1.30 pm on Saturday.
