Hospital Services
Seanad Éireann — 2020-11-17
============================================================

Frankie Feighan (FG), Sligo-Leitrim

I again thank the Senator for his great interest in this project. As he knows, the Covid-19 pandemic has placed increased demands on emergency departments, particularly in respect of infection prevention and control. The Government is committed to developing the emergency department at Cavan General Hospital and the project under way intends to provide a second resuscitation room, additional clinical administration area and an additional waiting area at the hospital. The design team has been selected and some proposed layouts have been received by the HSE for review. The project is being progressed and this is good news for the population served by the hospital.
