    A West Cork medical clinic has informed patients that it will close its doors at the end of this month. Swiftdoc Bandon opened in January 2020 and played a vital role in supporting the local community throughout the pandemic. The clinic is one of the few places in Bandon that offers out-of-hours medical care and is generally well-regarded among local residents.

    A Cork TD has called for action after it emerged that hospitals on Leeside are spending thousands per day on taxis to transport patients between different facilities. Figures released to Sinn Féin TD Thomas Gould show that the HSE spent an average of €6,000 per day on taxis in Cork between 2020 and 2024. Deputy Gould has called for the hospitals to employ people directly to carry out this work, rather than relying on taxis.
