Hospital Facilities
Dail Éireann — 2025-05-13
============================================================

Catherine Connolly (IND), Galway West

I am not sure which Minister is answering, but I am asking about the regional university hospital in Galway, a master plan we have been waiting on for a long time and a control development plan. I have in my hand the HIQA report from its last unannounced visit. There is a shortage of 232 beds and a huge difficulty in treating patients with dignity and respect and privacy, notwithstanding the improvements that have been made and good comments from the patients. We are talking about a hospital that is under serious pressure. The Minister might give me an update, please.
