National Task Force on Medical Staffing: Statements.
One cannot start closing A&E units without looking at the implications for the central unit. It sounds fine in theory but in practice it would be a disaster. Where in the Hanly report does it say the capacity in Limerick Hospital will be increased to a sufficient level to ensure it can cope with patients from Clare and north Tipperary? I question whether this issue has been thought out. Hanly was not asked to consider this issue but to look at the organisation of the services.
