Galway Bay fm newsroom - The HSE needs to increase capacity at the High Observation Unit in the Department of Psychiatry at University Hospital Galway.
That's according to Galway West T.D Éamon Ó Cuív, who says that despite increasing demand at the unit since 2015, bed capacity has not increased.
The Fianna Fáil T.D says the lack of capacity is causing distress to patients and their families.
Deputy Ó Cuív wants Health Minister Simon Harris to sanction extra bed capacity at the High Observation Unit at UHG and provide the necessary staff.
