Midwest Meeting Of Oireachtas Members To Decide Approach To HIQA Review

Oireachtas members from Clare and Limerick have given their backing to a three-tier plan to expand hospital capacity in the Mid-West, following publication of HIQA’s review of urgent and emergency care capacity in the region. At a meeting in Limerick on Monday morning, eight members of the Oireachtas agreed that all three options proposed by HIQA should be advanced in parallel to relieve ongoing pressure at University Hospital Limerick. Joe Cooney, Bodyke Fine Gael TD and Labour Tipperary TD, Alan Kelly discussed this matter with Alan Morrissey on Tuesday's Morning Focus. Photo (c) Alan Place
