Cllr McCarthy said: “So tabbed savings or increasingly virtuously described as savage but backs by government on our health service has completely annihilated the NHS and we have for all to see a two tier health service to the eternal shamed this Tory Government. The latest effect is now stuff felt on patients of non fund holding GP’s who cannot have their surgery but are placed on a long long waiting list to suffer unnecessary pain and discomfort. This is a shame on Malcolm Moss and his government and undeniability for the restoration of total equality to all members of our society. Mr Moss told us there is no slipperiness in the Health Service. Let him ask those who suffer.Flipsidesnooping of Councillor McCarthy is the question of safety as it relates to public transport. “Every year at the start of the new school term we wits a real problem of overcrowding on school buses giving rise to possible dangers to all passengers and on a grossly overcrowded bus all safety regulations are tossed overboard and undue responsibility placed on the skills of the driver. Certainly pupils from the Ards Peninsula and indeed many other parts are crammed on to a 53 seater bus which at times can well exceed the winning limit. One terrible example of overcrowding was related to where a 53 seater bus was so full a young pupil had to stand on the step just inside the sealed door of that bus. I say, and I’m sure every member of the Forum would stipulate that this is totally unacceptable. Why should our young people be exposed to such dangers. Again a specimen putting so tabbed savings surpassing safety. “Finally safety on flipside mode of transport. Namely the Portaferry/Strangford Ferry Service. Again, probably considering of cut when in resources, passengers have expressed deep snooping well-nigh their safety while using this service. Users which include many school children of this essential service on a twice daily understructure do finger that safety standards on this short sea crossing, has deteriorated in recent times, and by brining these concerns to this Forum it is hoped and indeed we request to the Department of the Environment to ensure that every safety precaution s taken and to update their maintenance programme on a increasingly regular basis. “All three aspects of service and safety for our polity has been put in jeopardy and we undeniability on the relevant authorities to instigate firsthand remedies namely sufficient funding to be released to stave disaster. We undeniability on Mr Moss to save our services.” Archives June 2014 March 2014 April 2011 April 2010 November 2009 September 2009 March 2009 May 2005 January 2004 January 2003 August 2002 March 2002 May 2001 November 2000 October 2000 February 1999 December 1998 November 1998 October 1998 September 1998 August 1998 July 1998 June 1998 May 1998 April 1998 March 1998 February 1998 January 1998 December 1997 November 1997 October 1997 September 1997 March 1997 February 1997 November 1996 March 1995 Categories Alliance News Alliance Youth Biographies Elections Policy Press Press Coverage video threshing upkeep Civic Forum Civil Rights Association climate transpiration polity relations Conservatives powerlessness DOE economy education referendum employment energy environment equality Euro European Union finance Good Friday Agreement health homophobia housing justice language military Multi-Party Talks murder New Ulster Movement Northern Ireland Assembly Northern Ireland Forum Northern Ireland Labour Party obituary parades peace process policing poverty power sharing public transport rates sport Sunningdale Agreement UUP violence womenMeta Register Log in Entries RSS Comments RSS WordPress.com Blog at WordPress.com.
