Group to lobby Taoiseach over psychiatric unit

OPPONENTS of the closure of a 55-bed acute psychiatric unit hope to lobby Taoiseach Enda Kenny when he visits the constituency next week.

Members of the Save Our Hospital Services committee in Clonmel said at a meeting on Monday that “no stone will be left unturned” in their campaign to retain all acute services at South Tipperary General Hospital.

“Everything that needs to be done will be done, including political pressure, people power and legal avenues,” the group said.
