Third consultant in six months quits
Dr Eamon Rogers, a consultant urologist at the Mercy Hospital, is set to leave his post after being offered a job in Galway. Just three months ago, consultant paediatrician Dr David Coghlan handed in his notice in protest at what he described as a lack of resources.
In March, award-winning cancer specialist, Dr Oscar Breathnach, announced he was quitting Cork University Hospital after four years of campaigning unsuccessfully for a dedicated in-patient cancer ward. Sanctioned this week, it will not be open before 2008.
