The Health Information and Quality Authority (HIQA) invites people to take part in its independent statutory review, which aims to inform the delivery of safe quality urgent and emergency care in the mid-west region of Ireland.
Early last year, the Minister for Health requested the HIQA to conduct a review of urgent and emergency care in Ireland’s mid-west region with the primary objective of ensuring safe quality acute care in the region.
As part of this review, HIQA was requested to consider the case for a second Emergency Department within the region in the context of the population changes in recent years and ongoing pressures at the University Hospital Limerick’s Emergency Department.
HIQA is now seeking the views of patients, family members, members of the public, healthcare professionals, representative groups and interested parties in the mid-west region.
Visit www.hiqa.ie to complete the submission form, which will remain open until 15 January 2025.
