Model Two hospitals ‘can do more’ for patients, says Harris

Health Minister Simon Harris has said Model Two hospitals can do more for local patients and help reduce waiting times in larger facilities.

The minister was speaking in Bantry Hospital alongside his Government colleague, junior minister Jim Daly. He confirmed funding for planning and design of a €5.4m endoscopy unit and a €5m rehabilitation unit, with construction of both likely to begin in 2020.
