Tipperary children missing out on vital care as paediatrician 'begs for more rooms' 

Professor Gabrielle Colleran, IHCA president, said 'there is a gap between the consultant experience and the funding the government are putting in'.

Children in Tipperary are missing out on vital paediatric care with a consultant warning she only holds two clinics a month due to space pressures despite “begging” for more rooms.

The Irish Hospital Consultants Association annual conference discussed many similar problems during a heated session with Health Minister Stephen Donnelly who defended his plans for increased productivity.
