HSE denies MGH to be downgraded

by IMN
The HSE has denied there is a proposal to downgrade Mayo General Hospital (MGH) to a district hospital.“There is no proposal to downgrade MGH in any sense. Staff are actively working, even in these difficult circumstances to expand the range of services offered at MGH and to improve the quality of [those] services. Significant progress has been made in 2008 and it is expected further progress will be made in 2009,” HSE West stated in response to a query by Health Regional Forum member Cllr Patsy O’Brien.
The spokesperson also dismissed rumours that there were proposals to remove the maternity or orthopaedic services from the Hospital.
