Mallow penalised for HSE ‘inefficiency’
The Friends of Mallow General Hospital are furious that the Department of Health has cut the hospital’s budget by €571,234, under a “case-mix” review, which penalises inefficient hospitals and awards efficient ones.
That represents a 3% cut on its annual €16 million budget. The support group believes such a cut could seriously affect the hospital’s day-to-day running.
