Government committed to CF unit at St Vincent’s, insists Tánaiste

TÁNAISTE Mary Coughlan has insisted that the Government is committed to opening the delayed cystic fibrosis unit at St Vincent’s Hospital in Dublin.

The contract for the 100-bed unit, expected to be opened this year, is due to be signed next week.

CF sufferers and their parents again took to the airways yesterday to express their anger and frustration at the delay in opening the dedicated unit.
