The Health Minister and HSE are being urged to address staffing issues at Killybegs Community Hospital which a local councillor says have led to 13 short-term beds being closed at the facility.
Cllr Jimmy Brogan says he first raised this in March, and was told at the time that a number of beds had been closed to facilitate essential infection prevention and control measures. He was told the work was complete, and admissions had re-commenced.
