TRADE and Development Minister Jan O’Sullivan has asked Health Minister James Reilly to get the HSE to rearrange its budget to retain 25 beds at the Limerick’s main hospital that are due to be taken out of use this week.

A TOP consultant who has warned of major cutbacks at the Mid-Western Regional Hospital has been told by Finance Minister Michael Noonan there is no more money and the hospital will have to make do with it’s allocated budget.
