The Health Minister has already been called upon to outline the winter plan for University Hospital Limerick, given concerns with ongoing overcrowding. UHL remains the busiest facility in the country today, with the Irish Nurses and Midwives Organisation recording 81 patients on trolleys this morning, representing more than one-fifth of all patients without a bed nationwide. According to the HSE's own workforce report, the MidWest also has the lowest number of consultants per population in the country. Speaking in the Seanad Fianna Fáil Senator Dee Ryan says measures must be put in place to ensure there isn't a further exodus of staff to the new Bon Secour's Private Hospital due to open in September.

The Health Minister has repeatedly mistakenly referred to a new "960 bed block" coming on stream at University Hospital Limerick when questioned on overcrowding in the Dáil. The comments were made in response to Labour TD Conor Sheehan, who raised concerns over UHL being by far the busiest hospital in the country yesterday, when the INMO recorded over 100 patients on trolleys. The first of two new 96 bed blocks is expected to be built at Dooradoyle by September, but this will only increase bed capacity in real terms by 71. Responding to Deputy Sheehan, Minister Jennifer Carroll MacNeill says the discharge rate at the hospital is improving.

36 elective procedures were cancelled at Ennis General last year due to overcrowding at University Hospital Limerick. New HSE figures show that 75% of cancellations occurred last August, when some day surgeries and outpatient appointments were deferred at Ennis, Nenagh, Croom and St. Johns due to high presentations at UHL's Emergency Department. There was only one instance in Ennis last year where a service had to be cancelled due to a lack of available bed spaces. Clare Fine Gael TD Joe Cooney says improvements are needed.

Brambory, houskový knedlík nebo noky z mouky, vajec a vody, to celé ochucené cibulkou osmaženou na kousku sádla. To byla uhlířina. Kdysi se prý připravovala v lesnatých oblastech, kde přebývaly rodiny uhlířů. Ti pálili v milířích dřevo a vyráběli tak dřevěné uhlí. Uhlířina byla oblíbeným jídlem také mezi horníky v hornických oblastech. Například na Kladensku.

Energetická transformácia je nevyhnutná. Hybridná práca zvyšuje dopyt po chladení, priemysel rieši dekarbonizačné opatrenia a ceny energií sa už na predkrízové úrovne nevrátia. Kto sa prispôsobí včas, získa konkurenčnú výhodu, hovorí Róbert Ruňanin z ENGIE Services Pandémia covidu zásadne zmenila energetický sektor. Kým spotreba energie v administratívnych budovách a nákupných centrách klesla, dopyt v domácnostiach výrazne vzrástol. „Ak zamestnanec pracuje 50 percent svojho času z domu a má podávať výkon v byte, kde je 32 až 34 stupňov, je to veľmi náročné. Preto vznikla väčšia požiadavka na chladenie aj v rezidenciách,“ vysvetľuje Róbert Ruňanin, obchodný riaditeľ ENGIE Services. Developeri preto čoraz viac zohľadňujú potrebu efektívneho chladenia a vykurovania pri návrhu nových projektov. Kľúčovým trendom je dekarbonizácia. Firmy sa musia prispôsobiť nielen legislatíve Európskej únie, ale aj požiadavkám dodávateľských reťazcov. Uhlíková stopa sa stáva rozhodujúcim faktorom. Malé i veľké spoločnosti už dnes vyžadujú od svojich partnerov, aby zavádzali udržateľné riešenia. Cena energií sa síce stabilizovala, no návrat na predkrízové úrovne je nepravdepodobný. Odborníci preto odporúčajú investovať do obnoviteľných zdrojov a energetickej efektívnosti. „Dekarbonizácia nie je jednorazový krok, ale dlhodobý proces vyžadujúci kombináciu viacerých opatrení. Kľúčovú úlohu zohráva správny výber partnera, ktorý zabezpečí nielen návrh riešenia, ale aj jeho realizáciu a dlhodobú prevádzku,“ uvádza R. Ruňanin s tým, že energetická transformácia je nezvratná a firmy, ktoré sa jej prispôsobia včas, získajú konkurenčnú výhodu. Firmám odporúča začať analýzou spotreby, nastavením jasnej stratégie a postupnou implementáciou opatrení. Aké faktory v súčasnosti najviac ovplyvňujú rozhodovanie firiem v oblasti dekarbonizácie? Prečo je nevyhnutný komplexný prístup namiesto čiastkových riešení? Aký vplyv bude mať dekarbonizácia na ceny energií v budúcnosti?

The HSE is being urged to bring Clare ambulance patients to Galway where possible, during periods of severe overcrowding at University Hospital Limerick. It's estimated that on average 1,820 patients from this county attended UHL's ED every month last year, with similar trends expected this year. By contrast, last month, 160 patients from Clare were admitted to University Hospital Galway's Emergency Department. HSE Regional Health Forum West member Ennis Fianna Fáil Councillor Antoinette Baker Bashua says the measure should be explored while Clare awaits the construction of its own ED.
A new Virtual Ward in University Hospital Limerick which uses technology to provide patient care at home has saved more than 2,000 inpatient bed days since its introduction last summer. A total of 325 patients have been cared for at the Virtual Ward since July 1st, using technology to link them with UHL for monitoring two to three times daily - and in the process freeing up 2,053 bed-days for hospital treatment of more acutely ill inpatients. To find out more, Alan Morrissey was joined by Nurse and Midwifery Informatics Officer, who led the implementation of the Virtual Ward at UHL, Patricia O'Gorman. Photo(C): Clare FM
It's claimed the number of patients transferred to University Hospital Limerick by ambulance last year has proved beyond all doubt that a new Emergency Department is needed in Clare. New HSE figures have revealed that over 24,000 services were brought to UHL by ambulance throughout 2024. Approximately 32,900 calls were made to the National Ambulance Services from residents in Clare, Limerick and North Tipperary last year. 75% of those required admission to University Hospital Limerick, bringing an additional 24,580 patients through its doors. In the same timeframe it's estimated that approximately 21,800 Clare patients attended Limerick's Emergency Department. HSE Regional Health Forum West member and Ennis Fine Gael Councillor Mary Howard says its clear that diverting some Clare patients to the closest hospital where possible or building a new facility here would relieve serious pressure.

Following the publication of the review's interim report, Minister Jennifer Carroll MacNeill has confirmed she expects the final review to be completed on schedule.

Over 9,000 Clare patients are believed to have already stayed overnight at the MidWest Region's main hospital this year. The finding is based on previous HSE data, which indicates that one in four patients presenting at University Hospital Limerick originate from this county. In the first two months of the year, almost 38,000 people were admitted to inpatient beds at UHL, equating to 158 patients from Clare every day. Friends of Ennis Hospital Chairperson Angela Coll says the HSE needs to source step-down beds in the short term.

HIQA has been requested to consider the case for a Model 4 hospital, equipped with a maternity wing in Ennis. It follows a meeting between the health watchdog and Friends of Ennis Hospital which heard there is no time frame for the release of an interim report analysing the case for a second emergency department in the MidWest. Plans are in place to incorporate the Maternity Hospital on the Ennis Road into University Hospital Limerick in the coming years, which currently accounts for 1,200 Clare births annually. With presentations at UHL hitting a record high of 87,000 last year, Friends of Ennis Hospital Chair, Angela Coll, says a facility here would reduce this by 25%.
A new record has been set for attendances at the Emergency Department of the region's main hospital. New HSE figures show 87,371 people presented at University Hospital Limerick's ED last year; an annual increase of more than 7,000. Of the patients that attended, just over 24,000 or slightly more than one in four were ultimately admitted to hospital beds. Ennis Fianna Fáil Councillor Antoinette Baker Bashua has been telling Clare FM's Daragh Dolan she believes that UHL simply doesn't have the resources to cater for the MidWest's population.
