Parents are set to hold a demonstration this morning outside Connolly Children's Hospital over "outrageous" appointment-only changes to the Urgent Care Centre.
Children’s Health Ireland in Connolly Blanchardstown will have same day appointment-only services from February 22, with a Swiftqueue appointment service link to appear from tomorrow and their walk-in facility will also no longer be available. Last week West Dubliners were left "in shock" over the move, with calls for it to be reversed.
Now a group of parents from Help Our Children Ireland have confirmed to Dublin Live that they will be staging a protest outside Connolly Children's Hospital Blanchardstown at 10am this morning., with a meeting point at junction 6. Speaking to Dublin Live, parent Lesley Anne O'Brien and local Cllr Tania Doyle confirmed that they are organising the protest out of concern for children who desperately need the services provided at the hospital, including walk-in services.
