Claims 514 UL patients died due to delays and overcrowding is 'misleading'

UL Hospital Group chief executive Professor Colette Cowan has now written to local politicians to voice her concerns over the claims.
University Hospital Limerick has rejected claims that 514 of its patients died in just over a year due to delays and overcrowding, saying it is “misleading and unhelpful”.
The hospital was responding to a presentation by the Mid-West Hospital Campaign to the Oireachtas Committee on Public Petitions earlier this month, where campaigners mapped findings from an English study onto patient numbers for Limerick.
