Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

Issues at the Emergency Department of University Hospital Limerick Raised in the HIQA Report: Discussion

Ms Maria Bridgeman:

I thank the Senator. Certainly, the support I have from the team working with me and others drives everything on. I acknowledge the significant funding the community has received over the past year and a half because that will make a significant difference to patients and people in the mid-west. There will be no doubt about that. It is really going to bed down now. We have been very fortunate in community services over the past two to three years in respect of the capital funding we have received. We have developed a significant number of primary care centres. I am not sure if the Senator was part of the visit of elected Members in August. For those committee members who were not able to attend, we will organise that again. That will become operational by the end of this quarter but really next month. It had to be handed over and we then had to fit it out. That will become operational in the next number of weeks, probably by the end of October.
