Committee on Public Petitions
Public Petition on St. Brigid’s Hospital, Carrick-on-Suir (Resumed): Health Service Executive
Ms Kate Killeen White:
We discussed the three palliative care beds earlier. One cannot single out beds in a building such as St. Brigid's. One needs to look at the viability of the building as a whole, which is what we did. There are multiple factors involved, whether they are regulatory requirements, statutory requirements or the infection, prevention and control requirements. Budgetary requirements and value for money would all be considered in the context of the decision-making around repurposing St. Brigid's.
