GPs demand to know complaint that sparked inquiry

MALLOW GPs have demanded to know the nature of the complaint which has initiated an investigation into Mallow General Hospital (MGH).

Dr Patrick O’Riordan, a GP in the town for 35 years, has formally written to HIQA (Health Information and Quality Auhority) requesting information about the complaint regarding patient care. He said, in his experience, care provided at the hospital is “exceptional”.

Dr O’Riordan’s request was backed by another GP in the town, Dr Billy Christopher.
