Cory Kilbane
THE General Manager of Mayo University Hospital confirmed last week that all ‘non urgent’ elective surgical procedures will be cancelled for the last two weeks in July and the first two weeks in August.
Catherine Donoghue said that all elective non-urgent surgical procedures will be cancelled for up to during weeks during the summer months.
Speaking to the media on Wednesday morning, Ms Donohue explained that the cancellations have been implemented as a result of the number of theatre nurses who have left the hospital in recent months. Despite this, the hospital are aiming to improve their staffing numbers in the future.
“There is no doubt that the aim for Mayo at the minute is to try to expand our staffing levels and expand our facilities within a level three capacity in the Saolta Group” she said.
