Amharc ar fhreagraI visited Mayo University Hospital (MUH) on Tuesday 4th February 2025 in the context of the aftermath of Storm Eowyn, where the focus of the visit was on how services were affected by the storm, and what assistance was provided to people in the area.
On 23rd August 2025, I again visited the hospital and met with staff that were present on the day. The visit was to view the performance of the Emergency Department at the hospital.
On Thursday 11th September, I met with Management of MUH along with staff and management of a number of acute hospitals, Integrated Health Areas and their Regional Executive Officers to discuss a range of performance metrics and the actions being taken across the country’s acute hospitals.
I hope to visit MUH again in the near future in order to continue my conversations with staff and management on how best to deliver excellent care for patients in the region.
