Health campaigners in Clare have expressed "anger and deep frustration" following the announcement that a site has been identified for a new hosptial campus for the Midwest. Health Minister Jennifer Carroll MacNeill has approved the acquisition of a 43-acre site in Raheen in Limerick. The Friends of Ennis Hospital claims 130,000 people in Clare along with a further 80,000 in Tipperary will see limited benefit from the hospital being located in the city. Chairperson Angel Coll says while investment in Midwest is positive, she believes it's incredibly disappointing that the site will be located so close to University Hospital Limerick.
