Multi-million-euro A&E department opens at MUH

THE multi-million-euro emergency department at Mercy University Hospital (MUH) which remained idle for almost two years, will finally be opened next week on a phased basis.

After 19 months of repeated delays and claims of the unit’s “imminent” opening, MUH management and the HSE will today confirm the long-awaited service will finally be available from Monday next, December 1.

Under the terms of the agreement, the facility — which was described as “state of the art” when it was built in early 2007 — will be open on a 24/7 basis.
