Kingsbridge management has confirmed redundancies are expected at its Sligo hospital following a meeting with local TDs today.

 

TDs were told Kingsbridge will move to an ambulatory day-care model, meaning overnight stays will end and some services will no longer be provided in Sligo.

 

However, the hospital has committed to a €3 million investment, with key services remaining and a CT scanner due next year.

 

Speaking to Ocean Fm news Minister Marian Harkin says efforts will continue to secure the best possible outcome for staff and patients, while any redundancy package must be generous and compassionate.
