Ballyshannon councillor calls for clarity on bed closures at Sheil and Rock Hospitals

Added: 10-02-2012

A Ballyshannon Town Councillor is calling on the HSE to outline how many bed closures have occurred at the Sheil and Rock Hospitals in Ballyshannon.

 

 

Fianna Fail Councillor Pat O'Malley submitted a question at a recent meeting of the Town Council calling on the HSE to outline the number of beds which have been shut

 

In a statement a spokesperson for the HSE says the Rock Community Nursing Unit operates with 22 beds while the Sheil Hospital operates with 33 beds.

 

However, Councillor O'Malley says this does not answer his question.

 

He wants the executive to address the issue again because he claims the beds are being closed by stealth.
