Mullingar hospital staffing
James Bannon praises the new accident and emergency development at Mullingar and rejects claims that patients are falling from trolleys, defending the hospital staff’s professionalism. Other deputies point to staffing pressures.
I compliment the Government on providing more than €6 billion for the construction of a new accident and emergency department at the Midlands Regional Hospital in Mullingar.

It will be some accident and emergency unit at that price.

Work has commenced on the new unit in the past couple of weeks. I want to nail the untruth that patients in the Midlands Regional Hospital are falling off trolleys. Management at the hospital complained to me that a statement had been made to this effect. That statement needs to be corrected on behalf of staff at the hospital who are highly qualified and caring and do a wonderful job.

Are staff in other hospitals not caring?

Untruths should not be broadcast in the media by politicians or anyone else.
