Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

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

Ms Maria Bridgeman:

At present, we have secured the capital for the current centre in Ennis. We have secured a centre for Thurles, which has opened, and we have secured one for Newcastle West. We are working on the other plans. The centre in Ennistymon will not be anything as big as that in Ennis because it would not be required, but we will certainly be working on the feasibility and the requirement for what is needed out there. As the Deputy is aware, since he visited the centre in Kilrush with me, we will certainly be looking at the requirements of the Ennistymon area, the population there and the resources we have to accommodate in the centre.
