Anger as hospital plans delayed again
Plans for a day procedure unit at Mallow General Hospital, in Co Cork, have been put on the long finger again, according to a letter written by Tánaiste and Health Minister Mary Harney.
Even though she admitted the unit is considered “a priority”, she told Deputy Batt O’Keeffe it hadn’t made the Health Service Executive’s (HSE’s) list for funding this year. The minister added that the project will be resubmitted for funding next year.
