The report of the national task force on medical staffing — Hanly report — emphasised the need for 3,000 additional acute hospital beds and stressed the need to appoint more consultants. An assessment of the need for additional acute beds in Ennis will be a key element of the implementation of the Hanly's recommendations in the Mid-Western Health Board area.
