No funding has been allocated for the modular unit, which was promised a year ago to extend the Emergency Department at Mayo University Hospital.
That’s according to Crossmolina-based Fianna Fail Councillor Michael Loftus, who raised the matter at yesterday’s meeting of the HSE West Forum.
Councillor Loftus says it’s not good enough for the people of Mayo that this modular extension was announced last Winter, but has not been provided.
He claims it’s having a knock-on effect on district hospitals across the county, and says the modular build would only cost around €500,000.
