Two Major Reports On Hospitals Due
The future of smaller hospitals and the restructuring of the overall system around six hospital groups are to be addressed today as two major health reports are published.
According to RTÉ, no small hospital will close, but services will be scaled back to more routine services, with others being moved off to larger facilities.
These plans have already seen most of the ten smaller hospitals A&E departments being closed and surgery services moved to bigger hospitals.
The second report will address the proposal to arrange some 50 hospitals into six overall hospital groups, focused around teaching hospitals with links to universities.
Hospital groups will have their own budget, pool resources and posts will be filled centrally.
It is understood that the aim of this would be to better manage services ahead of the planned independent Trusts and Boards.
