It’s no joke, fumes Kenny over idle hospital scanner

CANCER survivor and comedian Jon Kenny has blasted a Health Service Executive (HSE) decision to leave idle a €1 million lifesaving machine.

Mr Kenny said it was an “absolute disgrace that no one has been appointed” to operate a CT scanner at Mallow General Hospital.

The HSE (South), it emerged, is still waiting for approval to appoint a radiographer — although the machine arrived last December.
