Reilly: Issues raised in HIQA report on hospital already being addressed

Health Minister Dr James Reilly says numerous issues identified in today’s report by the State’s health safety watchdog on Tallaght Hospital have already been acted on.

The Health Information and Quality Authority report is expected to be particularly critical of the way the hospital dealt with overcrowding in its emergency department.

HIQA chief executive Tracey Cooper will present findings from the probe that focused on improvements needed in the hospital and in similar hospitals.
