Mid West surgery centralisation to begin next month

The Health Service Executive's planned centralisation of services in the Mid West is due to begin next month while the additional beds selected as part of the acute surgery arrangement will not be completely accessible until October.

The Limerick Post reports that the 30 beds, which are necessary to allow the complete transfer to occur, will not be available as a result of construction work in the Hospital. According to a hospital source the centralisation process will begin on a gradual basis over the next few months, commencing from July 1.

The source confirmed the new emergency theatre at Mid West Regional hospital is now complete.
