Hospital plan consultants ‘not consulted’

CONSULTANTS in Waterford have told the city council they were never asked about plans for a private hospital in the city, so cannot support the plan.

Fifteen specialist consultants from Waterford Regional Hospital have made a written submission to Waterford City Council on the proposal by Harlequin Healthcare for a 3.85-hectare site at Kilbarry, saying they are not in a position to support the venture.

The consultants complain about a lack of consultation with the backers of the project.
