A Kerry TD is calling for the day procedures unit at University Hospital Kerry to re-open.

Sinn Féin’s Pa Daly has written to the management of UHK, urging them to resume day procedures.

He says over 20 day-surgeries have been cancelled this year due to lack of beds, adding frustrated patients have contacted him about it.
