Waterford Hospital Action Group Unhappy With UHW Mobile Cath Lab

The Government has been accused of trying to "fudge" the need for a 24/7 cath lab in Waterford by providing a mobile one instead.

The South East Patient Advocacy Group is going ahead with a demonstration today to highlight the need for a permanent cardiac care unit for the region. Junior Minister John Halligan said yesterday that he'd received assurances from the Health Minister that a mobile lab would be in place within weeks, but the group says it's not enough.
