Cllr raises concerns on scale of Palliative care in Donegal

A Milford based Cllr has raised concerns about the scale of Palliative care in Donegal.

At a recent meeting of the HSE’s Regional Health Forum, Cllr Declan Meehan highlighted that the specialist end of life care services in the county are being carried out on a five-day basis.
