HSE using political uncertainty to implement home help cuts – Harkin

Marian Harkin
Midlands North West MEP Marian Harkin has accused the HSE of using the current political impasse to implement cuts to homecare packages and home help hours.

Marian Harkin is calling on the acting Minister for Health Leo Varadkar to ask the HSE not to implement the latest cuts.
