Eleven beds ensure CF patient prioritisation

The dispute between Build4Life and CUH management about the ring-fencing of in-patient facilities for cystic fibrosis patients highlights the extraordinary efforts of the charity in fundraising for these much-needed services.

In contrast, the reliance by the HSE and the State on charity fundraising is shameful.

Bed management at CUH has always recognised the criticality of ensuring CF patients, of which I am one, are given priority to avoid infection and are admitted as speedily as possible.
