Saolta University Health Care Group has advised that they are working with the hospital manager on contingency measures in relation to the cessation of the mobile Cath Lab Service at Letterkenny University Hospital. 

The National Cardiac Services Review is in the final stages and is due to be published shortly.  This review will set out the roadmap for future delivery for cardiac services nationally. In the interim, University Hospital Galway will continue to support Letterkenny University Hospital in the delivery of acute cardiac services.
