A new policy proposal put forward by Irish doctors is aiming to significantly improve Clare's healthcare offering. It comes as the Irish Medical Organisation has launched its pre-budget submission which is calling on the Government to provide an additional 5,000 inpatient beds and to fully digitise the health service by 2030. Clare currently has the joint fifth-lowest total of General Practitioners nationwide and the IMO is also seeking grants and tax incentives for new GPs to develop their practices. Lahinch based doctor and IMO GP Committee member Dr Michael Kelleher insists they're critical interventions that will make a major difference.

A Clare-based GP says Ireland has always relied on national healthcare workers to maintain services.  It comes as recent statistics from a Medical Workforce Inteilligence report show that a quarter of doctors in Ireland obtained their qualifications outside of the country. As well as this, according to the Irish Medical Organisation, 25% of General Practioners are currently at or approaching retirement age. Lahinch GP and member of the IMO's GP Committee Dr Michael Kelleher says it's vital we boost the number of doctors being produced in Ireland.

With Professor Matthew Sadlier, Chairman of the Consultants Committee, Irish Medical Organisation

Professor Matthew Sadlier, Chairman of the Consultants Committee, Irish Medical Organisation speaks about the strain on junior doctors ahead of an Oireachtas hearing.

A Clare Government Senator is calling for a third new 96-bed block to be approved and delivered at University Hospital Limerick in order to tackle legacy capacity issues. It comes as the third HIQA Report in a row, published this week found patient privacy and dignity continues to be impacted by overcrowding. On it's latest unannounced visit the Health Inspection and Quality Authority found the level of overcrowding at Dooradoyle's Emergency Department was not consistent with a human-rights based approach to care. According to HIQA, University Hospital Limerick's Emergency Department has planned capacity for only 49 service users, but last year an average of 219 patients atended the ED every single day. Despite this, a Clare member of the Oireachtas Health Committee claims reopening a 24/7 Accident Emergency Department in Ennis goes against the wishes of the INMO and the Irish Medical Organisation. There are currently two-new 96 bed blocks planned for UHL which promise to increase bed capacity by 167 in real terms by 2027. But Ennistymon Fine Gael Senator Martin Conway believes until the clinical advice says otherwise, commitment to a third new 96 bed-block at UHL is the most practical solution for now. The Health Minister has commissioned a review though led by MidWest Regional Healthcare Executive Officer Sandra Broderick, that will analyse if another A&E is needed at either Ennis, Nenagh and St.Johns. HIQA's latest report found once again though that patient flow continues to be ineffectively managed at the region's main hospital. Speaking on the floor of the Dáil, Stephen Donnelly says the issue needs to be urgently resolved to improve patient outcomes at the hospital. A Clare Independent TD though believes the Minister must inject as much funding as possible into Ennis Hospital in order to maximise capacity there. Kilrush Deputy Violet Anne-Wynne claims that contrary to government predictions, the second 96-bed block currently planned for UHL is not due to come on stream until the third quarter of 2028. She insists that capital investment is needed in Ennis now as the reopening of the A&E is inevitable.

Should everyone who earns €46,000 or less get free doctors appointments? The Irish Medical Organisation doesn't think so – they think it could clog up an already overwhelmed medical service. The expansion of free GP care was announced as part of Budget 2023. The IMO say they would need an extra 1,100 GPs for something like that to work.
