Revealed: CUH to be sole acute care centre

CORK University Hospital (CUH) is set to become the only acute hospital in Cork and Kerry, according to an unpublished report seen by the Irish Examiner.

The recommendation is likely to cause political embarrassment on the door- steps for Government candidates running in the local elections.

The Health Service Executive (HSE) had planned to publish the report on June 9, four days after voting takes place.
