Report highlights ‘great regional inequity’ in health services

A new report has found significant inequalities in the supply of primary, community, and long-term healthcare services across counties in Ireland.

The report, published today by the Economic and Social Research Institute, found that the likes of Kildare, Meath, Wicklow and Wexford have a supply of those healthcare services that is 10% lower than the national average. Counties including Sligo, Cork, and Galway are at the other end of the scale.
