Phase 2B of Mullingar General Hospital still awaiting response
Deputy Paul McGrath again expressed his concerns at the delay in sanctioning Phase 2B of Mullingar General Hospital.
"This project is currently running about 12 months behind the agreed schedule and the Minister for Health again confirmed to me in the Dáil on 6th March that the submission from the Midland Health Board was ‘currently under consideration’," says Deputy Paul McGrath.
"Phase 2B of Mullingar General Hospital will provide much needed additional beds and the delay in approving the appointment of a design team further delays the bringing on stream of these additional beds."
"At a recent County Council Meeting Senator Donnie Cassidy said there was ‘no delay’ on this project but this is at variance with the time scale outlined at the launch of the Phase 2B project at Mullingar General Hospital last May," says Deputy Paul McGrath.
"I will continue to raise this matter with the Minister in the Dáil at every opportunity," says Deputy Paul McGrath.
