Chambers bows out with calls for positive support of Mayo General

AS he prepares to bow out of politics after 30 years, Cllr Frank Chambers took the opportunity to publicly praise the staff of Mayo General Hospital for their professionalism and kindness.
Before the 2002 General Election, Frank found himself as a patient in Mayo General Hospital after he was involved in a serious car accident and said that in midst of the political turmoil and negative press regarding the future of the hospital, it should be supported in a positive light for the services it delivers to the people of Mayo.
“Having recently experienced the professional care in accident and emergency and intensive care unit with a family member, I have the highest regard for the commitment, support, kindness, excellent nursing and medical care that was of exceptional high standard and would compare admirably with any centre of excellence in Ireland.
“As a county we should be proud of Mayo General Hospital and the service and quality of care it delivers.  It provides a very important health service within our County and it should be supported in a positive light, for the services it delivers to the people of Mayo. I would also like to praise and acknowledge the wonderful professionalism of our paramedics and ambulance services within the county. Front line health services provide us with emergency cover when we least expect it and they offer 24 hours service, seven days a week.
“As a citizen of Co Mayo, I recognise with gratitude and acknowledge the excellent service provided by Mayo General Hospital. As a county, we should give due affirmation to the service it provides to many people and hold Mayo General Hospital in high esteem within our county,” he said.
