Marymount University Hospital and Hospice is delighted to be in a more secure place after years of navigating severe funding challenges. Government and HSE now cover our core costs, which include most staff (within a defined limit) and essential operating expenses like utilities, medication, and basic supplies. Nonetheless, we are not fully funded, and our fundraising efforts remain crucial for us to provide the best possible patient care. Additionally, our HSE funding provides for core costs based on a defined and capped number of staff.  Our costs continue to rise for general inflation, and we have seen big rises in recent years across all cost groupings and food and energy in particular. We are by no means fully funded; for example, we receive no funding for Capital Expenditure which is expected to run at approximately €2m per annum for the foreseeable future. Our capex is vital for upkeep of patient based essential facilities. It is also essential for transport to patients’ homes and for quality initiatives to enhance the experience for families. The current position unlocks exciting possibilities for fundraising and provides better clarity on our fundraising needs. Donations can now be fully focused on enhancing the quality-of-care experiences for patients and their families, which is their core purpose.
