Dublin to get second new elective hospital under revised plans

Responding to Social Democrats TD Róisín Shortall, he cited “transport constraints” and rising demand from patients as factors behind the change in approach.

TUD had been approached by the Irish Humanitarian Medical School project to work on the establishment of a new medical programme to increase the number of medical graduates available to healthcare systems in the global south, the university later told The Irish Times. “It has been the department’s clear view for some time that we’re not investing enough in training our own citizens and those of the EU across all disciplines. We’re doing everything we can to create new places.”

Fine Gael TD Colm Burke told the committee a patient in St Vincent’s University Hospital had spent 2½ years there even though the person was fit to be discharged and a suitable alternative care option had been identified. Another patient has spent 15 months in Cork University Hospital, according to Mr Burke, who criticised the high number of delayed discharges of patients from hospitals.
