Hospital Services
Dail Éireann — 2023-04-20
============================================================

Cathal Crowe (FF), Clare

My question relates to Ennis General Hospital and the new protocol introduced in January of this year whereby patients could be brought to the medical assessment unit by ambulance to alleviate the pressure being felt at the time at University Hospital Limerick's emergency department. I would like an update on how that has worked so far and what other plans the Minister has to improve this facility and indeed emergency healthcare in the mid-west.
