MEETING OF LUCAN AREA COMMITTEE

Tuesday, September 27, 2016

MOTION NO. 29

MOTION: Councillor P. Gogarty

"That this Committee writes to the HSE asking for an update on the implementation of recommendations arising from a HIQA inspection report in 2012 regarding conditions at St Mary’s Hospital in the Phoenix Park, which found that its organisation and management structure were inadequate for a designated elderly care centre; given that many residents of Palmerstown and Lucan would have relatives using the hospital or have stayed there themselves; given that visitors have reported to this Councillor that while improvements have been made, cleanliness remains an issue; and asking the HSE to ask HIQA to inspect the premises as a follow-up."

REPORT:

"A letter will be written to the Health Service Executive in this regard if the Motion is passed."
