Carers and their loved ones who receive roll-over respite care in Cherryorchard Hospital have been informed by the HSE that the newly refurbished Beech Unit at Cherryorchard Hospital is to close indefinitely. The management at the hospital have saidthat the closure of the Beech Unit is due to staff shortages for the Summer months. However, they could not give any guarantees as to when it will reopen.
The carers and their families with the support of People Before Profit are having a Protest on Friday 3rd July @ 4pm. We are asking for you support at help save the vital Respite Care services in this area.
Protest starts from Church of Assumption (at Kylemore roundabout, Ballyfermot) and will travel to Cherryorchard Hospital
