Fianna Fáil Deputy for Roscommon/Galway, Eugene Murphy has welcomed the commitment by the HSE to provide a five-day nursing-led care at St. Patrick’s Hospital in Carrick-on-Shannon by the end of September 2017.
Deputy Murphy says he has continually stressed the need for the reinstatement of full five-day nursing-led care at St. Patrick’s Hospital in Carrick-on-Shannon and he has tabled a number of parliamentary questions on the matter with the Minister for Health Simon Harris.
Deputy Murphy recently received a response from Frank Morrison, Head of Social Care with CHO1 which stated that St. Patrick’s Hospital are currently reviewing the service and plans are in progress to increase the service to five days per week which is planned to be operational by the end of Quarter 3.
