The weather held up as members of the different organisations made calls to have the current attempt at a two tiered health system to be brought to a halt and to give equal health care to all, irrespective of their income.

Dr. Orla Hardyman and Dr. John Crown led the attacks on the government on behalf of the Irish medical consultants for not funding the health service properly. Dr. Hardyman stating that many aspects of the health service were good and should not be continually criticised but needed more funding.

A concerned member of the public pleads with Dr. Orla Hardyman to view her personal letters related to her personal health matters.  

The Crowd moves towards the stage to hear the speakers outside "Buswells" hotel, the location for the Annual Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy Lobby day to be held on April 9th 2008. 

On that day parents of children with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy will meet with TDs from around Ireland to get their support to persuade the Government to back the Exon Skipping Trials for DMD currently in clinical trials in the UK. These trials are supported by group of professionals known as the MDEX Consortium, who are driving hard to bring translational research to the fore in finding therapies for this, the cruelest of diseases that impacts 1 in 3,500 boys and sometimes also girls.

These trials if proven successful will provide a major increase in life expectancy for children with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. 

Join us and lend your support on April 9th @ 12pm in Buswells Hotel.....
