Harney considering military hospital
The Tánaiste and Minister for Health, Mary Harney, has confirmed that she is considering using a vacant Dublin military hospital in an effort to ease A&E overcrowding in the capital.
Reports this morning said the Department of Defence had offered to make the 100-bed St Bricin’s Hospital available to the Mater Hospital in an effort to ease overcrowding in the latter’s A&E department.
