Over 300 public submissions have been received by Hiqa’s review of emergency services in the Mid-West, as Monday saw a near record-high 138 people without a bed at University Hospital Limerick.

The construction company, which recently completed a new 16-bed unit at UHL, has now been contracted for further works.
