Hospital in County Laois, Ireland
The Midlands Regional Hospital, Portlaoise (Irish : Ospidéal Réigiúnach Lár Tíre, Port Laoise ) is a public hospital located in Portlaoise , County Laois , Ireland . It is managed by Dublin Midlands Hospital Group .[1]
History
[ edit ]
The hospital, which replaced Laois County Infirmary , was designed by Drogheda born Irish architect Michael Scott , and was built between 1933 and 1936.[2]
On 5 March 2008, reports were published regarding the breast cancer misdiagnosis scandal at the hospital. A very high misdiagnosis rate was found to have occurred between 2003 and 2007.[3]
On 30 January 2014, the RTÉ Investigations Unit broadcast a Prime Time programme about the tragic deaths of newborn babies in Portlaoise Hospital and the subsequent management of patients and their families by the hospital and the HSE. A statutory investigation was launched and it found that 8 babies had died due a lack of know-how and a lack of resources at the hospital.[4]
In October 2017, it was reported that the Dublin Midlands Hospital Group was considering removing the accident & emergency service from the hospital.[5]
Services
[ edit ]
The hospital provides 200 beds, of which 140 are in-patient acute beds, while 10 are reserved for acute day cases.[6]
