Question:70 Deputy Martin Ferris asked the Minister for Health regarding the new critical care unit in the Mid-Western Regional Hospital, Limerick, when the unit will open and when it will begin functioning; the arrangements being put in place to ensure sufficient staffing and funding for the unit above and beyond the Health Service Executive regional plan for 2012; if additional non-critical beds will be provided at Limerick; his views that without such non critical beds and if the planned closure of the ICU in Nenagh Hospital, Tipperary proceeds then patients will face repeated journeys to and from Limerick and Nenagh; if he will halt the proposed closure of the Nenagh ICU; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
