LOUGHREA COMMUNITY NURSING UNIT WILL BE BACK TO FULL CAPACITY

A new clinical director has been appointed and 11 new staff nurses have been approved to bring St Brendan's Community Nursing Unit in Loughrea back to full capacity following bed closures

The unit has also received approval for two ward managers and additional care assistants.

I am delighted that there will be a new management team in place.

I raised the issue of bed closures at the unit as an urgent matter with the Minister for Health Simon Harris.

Operating at less than full capacity is not acceptable but I am now satisfied that the unit be fully operative again.

When public money goes into a public facility, there needs to be a proper management structure to deliver on patient care because that is the priority.
