There are futher delays to a Westmeath MRI Scanner becoming fully operational.
The unit housing the equipment, which was installed in Regional Hospital Mullingar a year ago, has been closed since Monday as hospital management seek further clarification from the HSE on staff matters.
Fianna Fáil Longford Westmeath TD Robert Troy has contacted the Minister for Health on the issue and expects it to be resolved imminently.
Chairman of the Friends of Mullingar Hospital, John McGrath, says the news was a surprise as they had been expecting the scanner to be effectively fully operational by today:
