Local TD Cian O’Connor has raised concerns over staffing and service delays at Cavan Monaghan General Hospital, citing that four consultants earn over €100,000 annually. The HSE’s top earners in the region include these consultants, according to a recent report. O’Connor said residents are “dying for services” and pointed to a 18-month waiting list for MRI scans. The hospital has faced ongoing challenges in providing timely care, with staff reporting high workloads and limited resources. The TD called for urgent action to address both pay and service delivery issues. The situation highlights broader tensions within the HSE as healthcare services struggle to meet demand. Patients and staff alike are under pressure, with no immediate resolution in sight.
