The HSE is undertaking a strategic review of acute hospital services in the Mid-West region. The review is focussing on identifying the most appropriate configuration of acute hospital services in the Mid-West including arrangements for A&E, critical care, acute medicine and surgery, together with diagnostic services, so that the highest quality of care can be delivered to the population. The HSE has advised my Department that the review is currently being finalised and that it will help to inform decisions on the future organisation of acute hospital and related services in the region.
