Two hospitals graded ‘red’

GALWAY UNIVERSITY Hospital (GUH) is one of the two worst performing hospitals in the State, according to a new survey.

The Healthstat report graded GUH and Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital in Drogheda as the only two hospitals to get “red” in the survey’s green, orange and red grading system.

GUH falling back into the red zone for January coincided with a new chief executive of the Galway Hospitals’ Group, Bill Maher, taking up his role. He was appointed to arrest the continuing poor performance of the hospital. (Times) >
