Castlebar & Ballina Hospitals

Mars

Does anyone know anything about Castlebar or Ballina General Hospitals - in Mayo?

Does either hospital have a good reputation locally?

Or does either have a longer than average waiting list?

Anyone got any info?

Thanx

Campbells Catering - they've been the only fault with the hospital in Castlebar - often causing more illness to patients than they were originally there for!

Otherwise, it's a good hospital - don't let them try to mend any broken bones though - insist on being sent to Merlim Park in Galway if they try cause they can not do it properly...
My cousin had a broken thumb, they set it incorrectly, it had to be re-broken and re-set. My cousin is a carpenter - imagine how that helped his career.

This of course was a while ago, before they made it policy to send everyone to Merlim Park - but incase they try...
