Summary

The new Midwest Health Planning Board is being tasked with tackling the region’s growing healthcare pressures, including capacity at University Hospital Limerick and future hospital development at Raheen. But Friends of Ennis Hospital says the focus must not be solely on Limerick — and that Ennis needs investment in beds, theatres and services now, alongside a longer-term plan for an acute hospital in Clare. Joining Alan Morrissey to tell us more was Angela Coll, Chair of Friends of Ennis Hospital. Photo (c) Alan Place
