Group that runs St Vincent’s University Hospital and St Michael’s in Dun Laoghaire wants more support from community services to facilitate discharges
St Vincent's Healthcare Group, which operates St Vincent's University Hospital and St Michael's Hospital, faces a potential €12.8 million deficit for last year. The group attributes the deficit to funding limits set by the HSE and seeks more community support for patient discharges. They are also concerned about funding for national specialities and critical care bed expansion. The Irish Voluntary Healthcare Association has expressed concerns about underfunding and accumulated deficits in voluntary hospitals, potentially affecting their solvency.
