Aut Even hospital

I was wondering if anyone knows if the present problems with the Mount Carmel group will affect Aut Even? I sincerely hope not, having been there in the past I found it great.

Dozen Wicked Words

Where all good Consultants go to retire. It has been in financial trouble more often than not in recent history hasn't it? I would say it might carry on, even without Mount Carmel group.

It would be in St. Lukes interest that it kept going, day services there can't cope with what they have, so would be much worse if private patients looked to get their procedures done at lukes. In an ideal world, the money coming in would be great, the reality is though, there are just no trolleys to put them on, they are filled with inpatients, and the waiting list for scopes grows longer.

I agree, it would be great if Lukes could do more private patients and generate income that way, but as you say, they just can't cope with it. It said on the news that the Mount Carmel group was in trouble, but no mention of the other hospitals. Lukes would be swamped if Aut Even went.

Aut Eeven no longer connected with Mount Carmel.

Thanks, dewdrop, I heard that interview by the head of Aut Even on Sue Nunn Show.

How will aut even keep goin though if it's not part of a larger hospital group?

madmaggie

I think it is now part of another consortium. I only caught parts of that interview, perhaps it might be available on playback on kclr.

They can't be doing too badly they have just taken on another couple of surgeons. Doctors everywhere, but of course if you are really ill they will still fob you off back to St. Lukes.

Handy for elective surgery, but as I know from experience if it's an emergency it's into Lukes and a public ward, insurance or not.

That's good news, hopefully with all the increases in health care insurance costs you won't be affected too much, and you can take the overflow from St Lukes, the last thing anyone wants is another hospital to close.
