Senator Erin McGreehan has welcomed the announcement that funding has been allocated through Budget 2025 for a new Trauma Unit at Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital, Drogheda (OLOL).

McGreehan said the new Trauma Unit will be established thanks to the funding which forms part of a €4 million allocation for the continued implementation of the National Trauma Strategy which aims to reduce the number of deaths and disabilities caused by major trauma. 

She said: “I am delighted that funding has been allocated for the recruitment of staff for a new Trauma Unit at OLOL as part of the Central Trauma Network. 

“This is excellent news for everybody in Louth and indeed the wider North East region.

“This Unit will significantly enhance the services that OLOL provides and the skills and expertise of its staff will ensure that patients can access appropriate care here in Louth without needing to travel. 

“This is hugely welcome and it will help to reduce the pressure on our hospitals.”
