Action is needed to prevent further closures of theatres in Cappagh Hospital

A DUBLIN North West TD is calling for action to prevent further closures of theatres in Cappagh Hospital that were shut down recently because there was no replacement hips and knees for procedures.

Deputy Dessie Ellis (SF) said it was disgrace that four of the hospital’s six theatres were out of action at a time when over 250 people were waiting a year or more for surgery.
