FEH are hugely concerned that the government are showing zero urgency regarding the risk to patient safety in UHL a risk identified by both HIQA & the Clarke report 😕

Raheen was only ever the beginning for the MW
We still want our hospital in Clare
Raheen was about patient safety
Giving UHL the beds it needs to provide a SAFE service
Beds identified by HIQA the ESRI & Clarke
A hospital PROMISED by the minister
what do we get?
A €14m field

For 20 years, the Mid-West has been crying out for safe acute hospital care.
We've presented the evidence, met the Minister and heard the promises.
Still no delivery.
Tánaiste, when will ye listen?

Regularly people contact us crying that they are being sent to #UHL most of them are elderly and scared 😟
It’s not fair on them
It’s not fair on the staff who are forced to work in an unsafe environment
But Dublin does not care
A sad indictment of our health service when people in Clare don’t actually seem to be surprised that we are not getting a new hospital in the Midwest 😕

GUH under huge pressure this morning with 52 patients on trolleys
SVUH & CUH 50 would be very concerned about 45 patients on trolleys within the ED that is hardly optimal for patient safety
Flu continues to have a very early impact on patient attendances in UHL
28
Today’s trolley counts raise serious concerns about overcrowding all around the country
We are looking at high counts outside the usual hotspots (UHL CUH GUH)
Would also worry about high ED trolleys as an overcrowded dept adds to patient safety risks and it’s still OCTOBER!

Winter is coming….
With attendances at hospitals across the country continuing to remain high, a hospital campaign group in the Mid West is calling on the Health Minister to deliver a winter safety plan for the region. Friends of Ennis Hospital are predicting attendances at University Hospital to hit the 100,000 mark by Christmas.

Influenza is now circulating in our communities
We know this because our chair has been sick for over a week
The need for a Winter Plan for Limerick has never been more obvious!

clare.fm/news/campaign-group…
This morning there were 404 people waiting for beds around the country
10.8% of the national total was in UHL
And now it seems we may not get a second hospital never mind a second ED for our region?

44 acres at Raheen. But where are the hospital beds?
March: New hospital campus.
September: Outpatients & diagnostics.
28 September: Taoiseach says new hospital in Limerick.
So which is it, Minister?
The Mid-West needs acute beds, not uncertainty.

42 on trolleys this morning in UHL
Where is the Winter Plan?
When is the surgical hub opening?
Day procedures should not have to stop when UHL is under pressure
