Midwest Hospital Campaign Calls For "Detail" On Emergency Care Improvements

Clare FM

The Midwest Hospital Campaign claims now is the time for the Government to provide detail on plans for improving emergency care in Clare. Included in the €25.8 billion investment in healthcare in Budget 2025 is a pledge to expand the emergency departments at five facilities nationwide, but University Hospital Limerick hasn't been mentioned on this occasion. The findings of the ongoing HIQA-led review examining the case for a second emergency department in the Midwest meanwhile won't be published until next summer. Ennistymon-based Midwest Hospital Campaign spokesperson Marie McMahon says while politicians getting on board with their cause is welcome, concrete information is what's needed.
