Room for compromise on CUH cystic fibrosis row

PLANS to build a 20-bed respiratory ward at Cork University Hospital have stalled because the hospital has refused to ring-fence any of the beds for adults with cystic fibrosis (CF).

As a result the CF charity funding the ward, Build4Life, is refusing to hand the money over.

National charity Cystic Fibrosis Ireland is calling for an independent expert to help mediate a resolution.
