Deputy Charles Ward has told the Dáil that Donegal is in desperate need for a surgical hub.
The Independent TD raised the matter earlier today.
The Donegal Deputy said “Patients across the county are forced to travel very long distances to access essential care and life saving surgeries.
“Letterkenny University Hospital is severely underfunded and has insufficient resources to address the healthcare needs of people in the North West.’
He added “To address the imbalance in healthcare in this country, and to meet current demand, two surgical hubs should be established in the North West. Donegal has been left behind and forgotten in so many ways. I am asking you not to leave us behind once again.”
The 100% Redress Party TD asked the Minister for Health, Jennifer Carroll MacNeill, to commit to establishing a surgical hub in Donegal.
