As the Deputy will be aware, the HSE is already currently implementing a reorganisation of service delivery into six new health regions that will provide a structured support to the integrated solutions needed to deliver health services to the public. The Midwest Regional Executive Officer, responsible for the Midwest region (incorporating the University of Limerick Hospital Group), was appointed by the HSE in December 2023.
Additionally, the Deputy will be aware that last week I announced a package of measures to alleviate overcrowding at University Hospital Limerick. As part of this package, I have agreed a range of measures with the HSE to reform work practices and improve performance at University Hospital Limerick.
My Department continues to work with the HSE to ensure improvement of services for all patients in the Midwest region.
