Govt urged to publish Monaghan Hospital report

The Labour Party has called on the Government to publish the Irish Medical Council's report on the management of Monaghan Hospital.

The IMC inspected the hospital in July last year and is believed to have compiled a hard-hitting report which described and accident and emergency ward as 'unacceptable'.

The report is also believed to have criticised chronic under-investment in infrastructure, staffing and planning at the hospital.

Labour spokesperson Liz McManus today urged Health Minister Micheál Martin to publish the report and to state when he received the document and if he acted on its recommendations.
