A Laois-Offaly TD says the onus is on our Oireactas members involved.
The retention of the emergency department at Portlaoise Regional Hospital needs to be secured in a new Programme for Government.
Sinn Féin's Brian Stanley says the plan put forward in 2017 to close it has never been replaced.
The Laois-Offaly TD believes the public consulation, promised by Health Minister Simon Harris, which has yet to take place, was a delying tactic the government.
Deputy Stanely is calling on the four midlands Oireachtas members involved in government formation talks to get a solid commitment on Portlaoise ED:
