Parents angry over failure to fit out cardiac unit

A PARENTS’ support group for children with congenital heart defects is furious at the delay in fitting out a new cardiac out-patients’ department in the national children’s hospital.

Last September Tánaiste and Minister for Health Mary Harney officially opened a new five-storey medical facility at Our Lady’s Hospital for Sick Children in Crumlin. The

€14 million Medical Tower, where complex medical problems can be managed without having to bring patients into hospital, has been open for almost a year.
