Plight of CF patients at CUH deplored

I am writing regarding the crisis that is developing in Cork University Hospital.

I attend CUH on a regular basis with my 13-year-old son with Cystic Fibrosis who is given the best of care by the wonderful staff there. The facilities are much less than what is recommended, as people with CF are at risk of cross-infection. Another person passing them in the corridor could pass on a potentially fatal bacteria to them, and there are no isolated, en-suite rooms there.

Whenever he is hospitalised on IV antibiotics I take him to a shopping centre once he has had his dose as there are a lot of people in the shopping centre but fewer sick people than in the hospital.
