Midwest Hospital Campaign Calls For Clarity On Hospital Comments
Published 3 weeks, 4 days ago
Description
The Midwest Hospital Campaign has slammed comments from a government TD suggesting that a new hospital for the region will be built in Limerick. It follows a social media video by Fianna Fáil's Willie O'Dea, which indicates the Health Minister is pressing ahead with plans to deliver a new hospital on a greenfield site near University Hospital Limerick. Last September, HIQA issued three recommendations to solve hospital overcrowding in the Midwest, including a proposal to build a new Emergency Department. Midwest Hospital Campaign Founder Hilary Tonge says Clare's TDs need to clarify if a location has been decided.
