Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

Healthcare Services in the Mid-West: Health Information and Quality Authority

2:00 am

Ms Angela Fitzgerald:

In regard to Galway and Merlin Park, the way they work is, predominantly, Merlin Park provides either ambulatory or elective work. I know quite a significant amount of orthopaedic work, for example, is done there. It also provides outpatient services. Speaking to Deputy Burke's comment earlier on, there is a critical importance to all of those inputs supporting and keeping people well, and keeping them out of hospital. I might ask Mr. Egan, who has done quite a bit of inspection work at the two sites.
