Episode 2

Bho dh'fhuiling an eaconomaidh aca gu mòr ann an dà mhìle sa h-ochd, tha Innis Tìle air a bhith a' gearradh air ais gu mòr. Ach le buidseat air fàire an ath-sheachdain tha draghan a' nochdadh mun a' bhuaidh a bheir gearraidhean eile air seirbheisean - gu h-àraidh seirbheisean slàinte. Chaidh Eòrpa a bhruidhinn ri cuid a tha a' cleachdadh nan seirbheisean sin ann an roinnean eadar-dhealaichte gus beachd fhaighinn air a' bhuaidh a tha iadsan a' faireachdainn mu thràth ri linn nan gearraidhean. Gheibh sinn beachd cuideachd bho eòlaichean meidigeach agus bhon riaghaltas, agus beachd a' nochdadh gu bheil fada cus uallach air cathrannasan aig an àm dhuilich seo.

Since the economic crash of 2008, Iceland has been cutting back enormously on spending. But ahead of next week's budget, concerns are being raised about the impact further cuts will have, especially on health services. Eòrpa visited some of those using the services, to get an idea of how current cuts are affecting them. We also talked to medical experts and to the government, asking whether too much responsibility is being placed on charity in these austere times.
