Fears New Midwest Hospital Could Have "Brand New Wards With Nobody To Staff Them"
Update: 2024-11-25
Description
It's feared a new hospital in the Midwest could have "brand new wards with nobody to staff them" if accommodation and recruitment issues aren't addressed.
It comes as a new CSO report has revealed that only 31% of individuals in Clare, Limerick and North Tipperary have a medical card while just 11% possess a GP visit card.
The newly-published data also shows that at 8%, women aged 40 to 44 make up the largest proportion of people in the region.
Lahinch-based Patient Advocate for the Programme Improvement Board of HSE Midwest, John Wall, says there's no point talking about building new facilities if there's nowhere for staff to live.
