The Nenagh Hospital Action Group is following up the very successful local launch of its blueprint for the future of the hospital, entitled “Small Hospital, Big Service”, with a briefing for all members of the Oireachtas, to be held in Buswells Hotel beside Leinster House, this Wednesday, March 29^th.

“We are taking our message to the members of the Oireachtas, because we want all our political leaders to be aware of what is in our report and in particular how it is relevant to all General Hospitals and not just Nenagh”, said Paul Malone, Chairman of the Nenagh Hospital Action Group.

“Our message is that Nenagh Hospital works, and small hospitals work. While we have only studied Nenagh, we know that our message applies to many small hospitals around the country and we believe that our public representatives are interested in hearing how it can apply to a hospital close to them”, he said.

He said the country’s smaller hospitals must be seen as part of the solution to the problems facing acute services, not as part of the problem.

“This solution lies between the covers of “Small Hospital, Big Service”, and we want our politicians to know about it”, he said.
