Hiring consultants without outpatient space, beds, theatres, labs, hoping productivity will increase is like...... hiring more journalists, giving them no space to write and then hoping for a longer paper. irishtimes.com/health/2024/07…

1/2 We honour #NellMcCafferty, a trailblazing journalist & founding member of the Irish Women’s Liberation Movement. She fought fiercely for women’s & gay rights, challenging a patriarchal society with courage and wit.
Very sad to hear of the death of the great Nell McCafferty. A formidable woman, incredible writer, unapologetic feminist legend, Irish LGBTQ+ icon, and an inspiration to so many. Her journalism was always so full of empathy, style, and truth. Love to her family and friends.

About to go into the Senate to move first stage of the #leaveourleave bill. To enable maternity leave to be deferred for women undergoing treatment during their maternity leave. Many thanks to @erica_tierney and the @IrishCancerSoc for championing this issue for last few years.
Great news out of the US. Decades of evidence shows that mifepristone is extremely safe and effective. Any argument to the contrary is based on ideology not fact.
