PRISON DOCTORS THREATEN TO RESIGN
27/05/2004 - 08:22:47

The Irish Medical Organisation’s prison doctors have threatened to resign en masse as part of a dispute over the standard of medical care available in Irish prisons.

The doctors, who have been on strike for a number of weeks, said they would all quit unless the Prison Service made a commitment to implement the Olden Report on prisoner healthcare.

The doctors have claimed that the medical care available in Irish prisons is sub-standard and have accused the authorities of caring less about the health of prisoners than that of society at large.
