A proposal intended for inclusion in the next National Development Plan has been made for a 'University Hospital Ennis'. The facility would be a Geriatric Centre of Excellence, equipped with an emergency department and would be located on a greenfield site, while a second Model 2 hospital and Local Injury Unit is suggested for West Clare. The recommendations are based on studies of the MidWest which analysed where future investment would have the greatest impact and were conducted by Hybrid Simulation Modelling Labs. Founder Sinéad Madden says it's needed to meet future population growth.
