Lufkin dialysis clinic must remain closed until further notice
A state agency is ordering a Lufkin dialysis clinic to remain closed until further notice as a former worker faces assault charges.
Renal units in Dublin's Beaumont, Limerick, Cork, Galway and Waterford Hospitals operate extended hours dialysing patients late into the night and many patients have to travel long distances for their treatment owing to a shortage of haemodialysis capacity nationally, the HSE has acknowledged.
