Committee on Public Petitions: Reopening of Ennis, Nenagh and St. John's Emergency Departments: Discussion (23 May 2024)

Cathal Crowe: I thank the Minister for his attendance. The HIQA review is a significant announcement.

Committee on Public Petitions: Reopening of Ennis, Nenagh and St. John's Emergency Departments: Discussion (23 May 2024)

Committee on Public Petitions: Reopening of Ennis, Nenagh and St. John's Emergency Departments: Discussion (23 May 2024)

Cathal Crowe: I will withdraw it if it allows things to proceed. It is essential that the capacity building continues beyond UHL. Of course, there have been some really tragic outcomes for patients there but recently when I met Sandra Broderick and the Minister on the capacity building in Ennis and Nenagh, the medical assessment units being key to that was mentioned. Something that came to my...
