Madam, - Madeline Spiers, in her excellent article on the health service, has blown away all the spin one gets from the Government (Opinion & Analysis, October 7th). She points to the shortcomings in the system and the action needed if we are to have a functional health service.
Only a government that puts patients before profit will adequately address the problems she outlines. Is there such a government in waiting? - Yours, etc,
MICHAEL O'DONNELL, St Patricks Hill, Cork.
