Tánaiste accuses Opposition of scare mongering over Emergency Department closures

The Tánaiste has accused opposition parties of scare mongering tactics in highlighting possible Emergency Department closures, writes Elaine Loughlin of the Irish Examiner.

Responding to reports that nine Emergency Departments are under threat of downgrading, shorter hours or closure of some kind and the removal of trauma facilities from them, Frances Fitzgerald has said there is “no intention” to close any down.
