The co-founder of the Midwest Hospital Campaign says the re-opening of Ennis's A&E would be a "top priority" of hers if in Government, but it wouldn't be a red line issue. The Social Democrats have published their General Election manifesto entitled 'For the Future' which includes a pledge to provide a Model 3 hospital in the Midwest with an emergency department. A recent study conducted by Ennis native Dr Sinéad Madden recommends a new 350-bed hospital in Ennis with an ED in order to serve the growing needs of this county's population. The Social Democrats have confirmed they're willing to go into Government with any party, and Ennis-based General Election Election candidate for the party, Hilary Tonge, says Midwest healthcare must be central to any discussion.
