“Legitimate questions have been raised by members of the Oireachtas regarding issues including access to the medical assessment unit, the capacity of the National Ambulance Service, local access to GPs, emergency and other resources in Drogheda and other hospitals, the use of injury units and more,” he said.
He said he has been made aware of “very significant risks” and concerns raised by clinical medical staff about the plan and that the board had met over the course of last week to discuss them. “People in the Navan and Meath area are really at risk of poorer health outcomes and indeed death if we don’t address these actions,” he said.
He said about 50% of patients in hospital with Covid are in hospital because of their symptoms while the other half came into hospital with another illness and subsequently tested positive.
