Reilly: Hospital reorganisation means 'more services, not fewer'
The Minister for Health James Reilly has said no acute hospital will close as a result of the reorganisation of hospitals.
James Reilly is about to announce details of the restructure - which will see the country's 49 hospitals merged into six groups.
They will be Dublin North East; Dublin Midlands; Dublin East; South/South West; West/North West and Midwest.
Minister Reilly said he is committed to securing and further developing the role of smaller hospitals, which he said will provide more services, not fewer.
Under the plan, called "Future Health", larger hospitals will carry out more complex surgeries, with smaller hospitals responsible for simpler treatments.
