Mid West Health Board Launched | Belfast News

from Belfast News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!

Health Minister Jennifer Carroll MacNeill has tapped Sean ODriscoll to lead a new Mid West Health Planning Board, tasked with crafting a bold, long-term healthcare strategy for Clare, Limerick, and North Tipperary. The goal? To deliver top-tier care closer to home and ease the burden on University Hospital Limerick. With a mix of HSE leaders, healthcare experts, and patient advocates, the board will focus on integrating hospital, community, and primary care services — and could deliver its plan by late 2025. While welcomed by some, local groups are urging faster action on key projects like expanding inpatient beds at Ennis Hospital.
