Monaghan Hospital and Cavan General Hospital operate as a single entity, with an integrated managerial and clinical governance system, care pathways and support functions. The Emergency Department is located at Cavan General Hospital, while the facilities at Monaghan Hospital are focused on elective care and the streaming of appropriate patients to the Minor Injuries Unit located on site.
Monaghan Hospital also continues to provide Theatre, Day Services, Diagnostic Services, Ambulatory Care and Out-Patient Services.
