    How about extending Breast and Bowel Screening Tests to over 70′s? That would be a real benefit and an end to age discrimination in those areas.

    Address the huge cost of attending hospital appointments, and having to use and pay for the car parks.
    The HSE have contracted the car park facilities out so that they don’t have to deal directly with the clients.
