Manager sorry for delays to nursing unit
Pat Healy, the regional director of operations for the Health Service Executive (HSE) South, said the buck stops with him when it comes to responsibility for the controversial delay affecting the new 68-bed Dingle Community Nursing Unit in Co Kerry.
But he told a meeting of HSE South Regional Health Forum that the HSE is now formally engaged with the Health Information and Quality Authority (HIQA) to resolve the registration issues. But fresh concerns have emerged that if the building must comply with new environmental standards, structural alterations will be required.
