HSE谈判将病人从过度拥挤的UHL转至Bon Secours Limerick,以减轻危机。 HSE negotiates patient transfers from overcrowded UHL to Bon Secours Limerick to ease crisis.

卫生服务管理局 (HSE) 正与利默里克邦医院 (Bon Secours Hospital Limerick) 进行谈判,该医院是一家价值2.13亿欧元的私人医院,于2024年9月开业,在需求高峰期将患者从利默里克大学医院 (UHL) 转移,以缓解慢性过度拥挤. The Health Service Executive (HSE) is negotiating with Bon Secours Hospital Limerick, a €213 million private facility opened in September 2024, to transfer patients from University Hospital Limerick (UHL) during peak demand to ease chronic overcrowding. UHL是唯一一个24小时急诊部门,在多个州为400 000多人服务,它继续面临严重的床位短缺问题,住院病人经常坐推车等候治疗。 UHL, the only 24-hour emergency department serving over 400,000 people across multiple counties, continues to face severe bed shortages, with admitted patients often waiting on trolleys. 尽管最近有所扩大,包括新建了96张床位的单元,但过度拥挤现象持续存在。 Despite recent expansions, including a new 96-bed unit, overcrowding persists. HSE和Bon Secours正在最后敲定一项转移适当病人的协议,预计很快会达成谅解。 The HSE and Bon Secours are finalizing an agreement to transfer appropriate patients, with an understanding expected soon. 此举支持政府支持的应对危机的更广泛计划,包括扩大UHL网站,在共同治理下开发第二个校园,或者在中西部新建一所具有急诊部门的3型医院。 This move supports broader government-backed plans to address the crisis, including expanding UHL’s site, developing a second campus under shared governance, or building a new Model 3 hospital with an emergency department in the mid-west.
