John Moloney (Laois-Offaly, Fianna Fail)

The HSE plan will reorganise the arrangements in Ennis and Nenagh so that these hospitals will provide an urgent care service for 12 to 14 hours a day as part of a regional accident and emergency structure. These hospitals will also continue to admit appropriate medical cases. The HSE has identified the enhancement of emergency ambulance services as an essential element of the new service delivery arrangements for the mid-west.
