Proposals required to ease pressure on health service – Gildernew

Sinn Féin MLA Colm Gildernew has said the health service and its workers are in danger of being overwhelmed with COVID-19 pressures. 

Colm Gildernew said: 

“Images of ambulances queued outside emergency departments at hospitals and reports of patients being treated in ambulances in car parks are very concerning. 

“The health service and its workers are under intense and unprecedented pressure and it is increasing. 

“The health workers are doing tremendous work in hugely challenging circumstances but they are in danger of being overwhelmed. 

“The health minister has said that he will bring forward proposals and those will need to be concrete proposals to deal with the serious situation we are facing. 

“Sinn Féin will support the proposals when they are brought forward to the Executive.”

It’s time to end the rip-off insurance premiums hitting motorists, homeowners, and businesses.

Sinn Féin Ministers Caoimhe Archibald and Conor Murphy met with the Financial Conduct Authority to demand stronger regulation and an end to extortionate insurance costs.

Women and girls will not settle for anything less than fairness, equality, and respect.

While we’ve made significant progress, we cannot stop now.

Together, we must continue to push forward to end violence against women and girls, and guarantee equality of opportunity for all.

Sinn Féin will stand up for renters.

A Sinn Féin led Government will:
⬇️ Lower rents by putting a month’s rent back in your pocket
❌ Ban rent increases for 3 years
🏠 Deliver the biggest affordable rental programme with rents at or below €1,000 per month.

Vótáil Sinn Féin.
