The sick man of.
(From Irish Independent)
This week Ireland came second last in a survey of European health services, with France in top place and Lithuania at the bottom. Gemma O'Doherty reports
Francoise Brung is a young Parisian mother raising her three children in Dublin. She has lived here for 18 years, is married to an Irish man and loves her adopted country. But she has no wish to grow old here.
Once she reaches retirement age, Francoise, an administrator, plans to pack up and return home to France because she does not have faith in the Irish health system to look after her at a time when she will need it most.
This week, the Taoiseach poured scorn on a new survey which ranks France as the most consumer-friendly healthcare system out of 26 countries and Ireland a shameful second last.
The 2006 Euro Health Consumer Index, drawn up by the Swedish-based Health Consumer Powerhouse (HCP) looked at patients' rights and information, waiting times for treatment, treatment outcomes, generosity of the healthcare system and the availability of medicines.
On the Irish system, the report stated "with severe waiting list problems, and less than fantastic outcomes quality, Ireland does not score very well."
