The Health Minister has told Clare's Oireachtas members that the development of a new hospital with an emergency department in the Midwest will be progressed "in conjunction" with other approved measures. Minister Jennifer Carroll MacNeill has met with TDs and senators from this region after confirming that all three options recommended by HIQA's review of emergency care capacity in the Midwest have been accepted. It means the Government will begin work on expanding capacity at University Hospital Limerick, extending the UHL campus to a second nearby site, and developing a new Model 3 hospital with an emergency department in the region, in the new year. Bodyke Fine Gael TD Joe Cooney says while the long-awaited new facility won't be delivered in the short-term, it won't be left on the long finger.

The Health Minister is being urged not to "water down" HIQA's recommendations on the urgent and emergency healthcare services in the Midwest. The HSE Mid West Regional Patient and Service User Council has met with Minister Jennifer Carroll MacNeill to discuss the recommendations of the review published in September. During the meeting, the council explained that it favours options A and B of the review which would see bed capacity at UHL increased along with the extension of the campus to a second site under a shared governance and resourcing model. The minister is due to make a decision on the recommendations before Christmas, and Lahinch-based HSE Mid West Patient Advocate John Wall says there's "no reason" why construction can't begin next year.

HSE Mid West has held a behind closed doors meeting with Clare County Council.

It's claimed the Health Minister's recommendations on HIQA's review of emergency care capacity in the Midwest do nothing to help people in Clare. Minister Jennifer Carroll MacNeill has committed to progressing the expansion of capacity at University Hospital Limerick and the extension of the campus to another nearby site. A decision on the development of a new model 3 hospital in this region is to be taken in the new year. Kilrush-based former county councillor and Friends of Ennis Hospital spokesperson Deirdre Culligan says the minister's plans are particularly unhelpful to those in the west of the county.

The Health Minister is to make a decision on a new model 3 hospital in this region in the new year. Following a meeting with the Midwest's Oireachtas members this week, Jennifer Carroll MacNeill has committed to progressing options A and B recommended by HIQA's review of emergency care capacity in the region which refer to expanding capacity at University Hospital Limerick and extending the campus to a nearby second site, respectively. Reports from the meeting claimed the minister has described the third option, which would involve the development of a new model 3 facility in the region, as a "live option". Speaking in the Seanad however, Minister Carroll MacNeill says no commitment has been made in this respect and this option will be examined in the new year.

The Health Minister has revealed her intention to recommend a new-build hospital in the Midwest. Jennifer Carroll MacNeill has spoken to the region's 14 TDs and senators at a meeting organised by Bodyke Fine Gael TD Joe Cooney in relation to the recommendations of the HIQA review of emergency care capacity in Clare, Limerick and North Tipperary. Minister Carroll MacNeill says she will pursue both Option A and Option B, meaning further expansion of University Hospital Limerick campus as well as the extension of the campus to a second nearby site, while confirming she will keep Option C, which involves the development of a new Model 3 hospital in the region, as a "live option". Meelick Fianna Fáil Deputy Cathal Crowe believes it's a very positive result.

Tánaiste and Finance Minister Simon Harris said during his visit to Clare last week that the Midwest will “ultimately” need a new hospital and claims the HIQA review provides a “roadmap” on fixing the overcrowding crisis.

A Clare TD claims the three options put forward by HIQA as part of their review into emergency healthcare into the region should be implemented gradually. It follows the request put forward by 14 Midwest Oireachtas members to meet with Health Minister Jennifer Carroll McNeill to discuss the options put forward by HIQA. The health watchdog's Chief Executive Officer, Angela Fitzgerald, this week stated a new model three must be considered by the Government. Bodyke Fine Gael TD, Joe Cooney, says expanding the UHL site is a good first step, but more measures must follow in due course.

It's claimed the need for the construction of a new hospital is the 'general consensus' of the Midwest's elected representatives. It follows a meeting, oranised by Fine Gael, regarding Midwest healthcare which was the second of its kind since the publication of HIQA's review into emergency capacity in the region. Shannon Sinn Féin TD, Donna McGettigan, says members of the opposition attended the meeting to put forward the viewpoint that all three of the health watchdog's recommendations be implemented. She says they were reassured the region's elected representatives are all pulling in the same direction.

A Midwest migrants rights charity says a new report shows there's a "lack of oversight and adequate governance" from management of an accommodation centre for asylum seekers in south-east Clare. HIQA's latest inspection of the Knockalisheen Accommodation Centre in lower Meelick has found that the provider failed to comply with eight standards. "Significant risks" associated with the premises were identified as well as "serious fire safety concerns" while it was also observed that some residents "felt unsafe" following a number of violent incidents at the facility. Doras CEO John Lannon has been telling Clare FM's Seán Lyons it's clear there has been no meaningful improvement in the quality of accommodation being provided at the centre since the last inspection.

Clare's opposition TD has dismissed a recent meeting of MidWest politicians over the HIQA review as an optics exercise. Only government Oireachtas members from Clare and Limerick along with Mayor of Clare Paul Murphy attended the event, where they decided to lend support to a three-tiered HSE plan aiming to solve overcrowding in the region. Despite being invited, TDs from Sinn Féin, Labour and Independent Ireland declined to attend. Shannon Sinn Féin Deputy Donna McGettigan believes it was a talking shop that won't deliver real results.

Oireachtas members from Clare and Limerick have given their backing to a three-tier plan to expand hospital capacity in the Mid-West, following publication of HIQA's review of urgent and emergency care capacity in the region. At a meeting in Limerick on Monday morning, eight members of the Oireachtas agreed that all three options proposed by HIQA should be advanced in parallel to relieve ongoing pressure at University Hospital Limerick.

Two motions on HIQA's review into urgent and emergency care capacity in the Mid West will come before today's meeting of Clare County Council, Monday the 13th of October. One of the motions is asking for the local authority to call on the Government to commit without delay to the planning, funding, and construction of a new Model 3 or 4 hospital in Ennis. Meanwhile, the second motion asks that the Council calls on the Minister for Health to ensure that the new hospital recommended in the HIQA review of emergency healthcare services in the Midwest is located in County Clare. To discuss this further, Alan Morrissey was joined by Sinn Fein Cllr Tommy Guilfoyle and Maghera Fianna Fail Cllr Pat Hayes. Photo (c) Alan Place

The Health Minister says all options are on the table when it comes to fixing the overcrowding crisis in this region. Fine Gael Minister Jennifer Carroll MacNeill is at University Hospital Limerick today to open the first of three planned 96-bed blocks on the Dooradoyle campus. It comes two weeks after the publication of the findings of HIQA's review of emergency care capacity in the Midwest which recommended either increasing capacity at UHL, expanding the site or building a new hospital with an emergency department in the region. Minister MacNeill has been telling Clare FM's Seán Lyons that a decision will likely be made by Christmas but short-term solutions are required in the mean time.

Suggestions that planning delays could be too much of an obstacle for a new MidWest hospital have been rubbished by a West Clare Councillor. It follows indications that HIQA is prioritising either the expansion of University Hospital Limerick or extension of its campus instead. In the regulator's landmark review of emergency capacity in the MidWest, it highlighted that a project feasibility risk assessment would have to be carried out to see if building a new facility elsewhere is possible. Doonbeg Fianna Fáil Councillor Rita McInerney believes its the only viable solution.

The Health Minister is being urged to take "swift and decisive action" in order to provide a safe emergency care environment for patients and staff in the Midwest. Following the release of HIQA's review examining urgent and emergency healthcare services in this region, Jennifer Carroll MacNeill has told the Dáil expanding services at University Hospital Limerick or extending the campus are her preferred options. Figures from the Irish Nurses and Midwives Organisation show 99 people were waiting for a bed on a trolley or chair at the Dooradoyle facility this morning. INMO Assistant Director of Industrial Relations for the Midwest, Mary Fogarty has been telling Clare FM's Seán Lyons she believes the Government should choose the solution with the quickest results.

Clare's opposition TD has criticised HIQA for a lack of decisiveness in its review. The regulator had previously questioned the need for a second emergency department in the region following an inspection which highlighted the effects of gross overcrowding at UHL in 2022. Despite now recommending that either expanding or extending University Hospital Limerick would be a more timely solution for patient safety, it does say that a new hospital elsewhere could address long term bed requirements. Shannon Sinn Féin Deputy Donna McGettigan says this should've been obvious for some time.

The Health Minister has indicated that HIQA is not prioritising a new hospital for the MidWest, despite including it in its recommendations following a landmark review of the region's emergency capacity. Jennifer Carroll MacNeill has told the Dáil that the health watchdog believes expanding services at Dooradoyle or extending the campus would be a less costly and time consuming option than building a new hospital. In the meantime, the first of the two new 96 bed blocks, which will increase UHL's capacity in real terms by 71, is expected to open imminently. Responding to Clare TD Cathal Crowe, the Health Minister says it could open this week.

HIQA is expected to publish its review of urgent and emergency capacity across Clare, Limerick and North Tipperary at 3pm. The review was announced last May amid persistent gross overcrowding at University Hospital Limerick and after inquests into the deaths of Clare patients Aoife Johnston and Martin Abbott at UHL both returned verdicts of medical misadventure. Friends of Ennis Hospital Chairperson Angela Coll says the people of the MidWest can't wait any longer.

The final report of the HIQA review examining the case for a new emergency department in the Midwest is expected to be published "very shortly". The review into urgent and emergency care capacity in this region was announced by former Health Minister Stephen Donnelly in May 2024. The findings of the review were initially due to be published in May of this year but this was pushed back to September. Six days out from the close of the month, Fine Gael Minister of State John Cummins says the demand and capacity projections being prepared by the ESRI are crucial to the process.
