HSE MUST MAKE CLEAR ITS INTENTIONS ON MALLOW HOSPITALNow that they have been shamed by the Labour Party into publishing the Teamwork report into the hospitals in the Mid West, the HSE must publish the report as it relates to Mallow.
There has been a systematic downgrading of Mallow Hospital, and I am now calling on the HSE to come clean, and to outline precisely what its plans are in this regard.
My fear is that like Ennis and Nenagh in the Mid West, the A&E service Mallow hospital will also be filleted and that it will become a subsidiary of Cork University Hospital, that is only open at certain times. This will have a massive impact on the 100,000 people who live in the hospital's catchment area in North Cork, very many of whom live in rural areas. By downgrading the A&E service in Mallow, we will simply force more people towards the CUH, which is already operating under immense pressure and which could not cope with the further demands. The HSE must publish this report so that we can have a full public debate on the future of Mallow Hospital and other hospitals in the region. We need to know what its intentions are in this regard. |
