Irish Apartheid: Healthcare Inequality in Ireland

Health services are top of the public and political agenda in Ireland, yet much of the rhetoric is confused, and most people cannot understand why the system is the way it is.

In Irish Apartheid, Sara Burke demystifies the health services. She debunks the 'black-hole' myth of spending, and highlights the State's failure to provide comprehensive public health services. She lays bare the HSE and our two-tier system, while revealing the silent privatisation of key aspects of public healthcare.

Written for any Irish citizen who is concerned with the inequality that is at the core of Irish health policy, this book is also crucial reading for people who study or work in the health services, for policymakers and politicians.

Praise for Irish Apartheid:

'Forensic, rigorous, compelling...essential reading for anyone who cares about what's gone wrong with Irish health policy and how we can put it right' Fintan O'Toole
