Martin meets Cavan hospital board

PUTTING a positive spin on Cavan General Hospital was not enough to convince people that patient care was as it should be at the hospital, Hospital Action TD Paudge Connolly said yesterday.

He was commenting on yesterday's meeting between Health Minister Micheál Martin and representatives of the hospital's medical board.

The 90-minute meeting between the minister and the hospital's medical board concentrated on operational issues, such as training, funding and bed capacity.
