Amharc ar fhreagraPublic hospital services in Ireland are provided by the HSE and are organised into seven Hospital Groups. The services delivered include inpatient scheduled care, unscheduled/emergency care, maternity services, outpatient and diagnostic services. A wide range of emergency, diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation services are provided in Ireland's public hospitals.
However, as the Bonsecours Hospital Galway is a private facility, the Department and the HSE do not have a remit in this area and do not hold the requested information.
