The Chairman of Longford Hospice says they're disappointed to hear no mention of an extra Level 2 bed for the county as part of a major funding announcement for the midlands.

Dan Rooney was responding to the news today that the government has approved capital funding to build a new 20 bedded hospice unit on the campus of the Midland Regional Hospital in Tullamore.

It's hoped the new unit could be delivered in the next few years after the planning process begins for the project.
