HSE-run nursing home to close in coming months

THE HSE is expected to close the 90-bed St Brigid’s Nursing Home in Crooksling in Dublin over the next three to six months.

It is believed that the HSE-run facility is to be shut down amid concerns it would not meet standards set by the Health Information and Quality Authority.

News of the closure was revealed by the Irish Nurses and Midwives Organisation (INMO) yesterday.
