Fold-Out Beds for Parents at Rehab Hospital | Cork News

Parents of kids at the National Rehabilitation Hospital are finally getting fold-out beds — a temporary but necessary step to help them rest while supporting their child’s care. The hospital admits chair beds aren’t cutting it, and safety rules make alternatives tough. While these beds won’t match a real mattress, they’re designed for emergency access and infection control. But critics like Sinn Féin’s David Cullinane say this is just a Band-Aid — families under immense pressure deserve proper overnight accommodation. He’s demanding permanent solutions from the HSE and Department of Health, with a clear timeline, arguing that parents are vital to recovery and must be given dignity and comfort.
