Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 10 April 2024
175. Deputy Violet-Anne Wynne asked the Minister for Health to outline his plans in detailed timeline with respect to recent measures announced for the UL Hospitals Group; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [15738/24]
View answerI have agreed a range of new measures with the HSE in order to alleviate the pressures being experienced at University Hospital Limerick. I have directed the HSE to undertake a range of actions relating to hospital performance, as well as agreeing an extensive package of measures to increase capacity in terms of beds, staffing, patient flow and access to Medical Assessment Units in the region.
As delivery of these measures is a service matter, I have asked the Health Service Executive to respond to the Deputy directly, as soon as possible.
