Fri 05 May 2004Confusion on hospital plan for north-eastThe first indications of how hospital services in the north-east region may be reorganised under the second phase of the Hanly taskforce plan began to emerge yesterday.GPs in Co Louth who attended a meeting with a senior official of the North Eastern Health Board reported being told that under Hanly II, Navan Hospital would be grouped with James Connolly Memorial Hospital in Blanchardstown, Dublin; that Dundalk Hospital and Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital in Drogheda would be aligned under Dublin's Beaumont Hospital; and that Cavan General Hospital would come under Sligo General Hospital.
