Local IMPACT official Padraig Mulligan said the ‘SOS: Save Our Services’ campaign would work with the community to resist HSE plans to cut €24 million from the hospital budget and over €18 million from community services in the area.
Mr Mulligan said: “It is important for us to stand strong and put on a determined and impressive show of strength in support of our health services. The planned cuts would result in the decimation of our services, jobs and the local economy. We are going to demand that local politicians make a practical stand in defence of Galway’s public health services and the community that depends on them.”
