Written Answers. - Hospital Funding.
The funding and additional staffing provided to Mallow General Hospital is outlined below. Provision has been made this year for the re-opening of beds in the refurbished medical ward. I understand that the Sourthern Health Board is making arrangements for the recruitment of the necessary nursing and support staff to enable these beds to be opened as soon as possible.
