The service is part of a rollout by HSE Community Healthcare West across Galway, Mayo & Roscommon of an initiative to help oder people avoid having to attend Emergency Departments for an x-ray. The HSE is expanding the free, community-based service to older patients in both public and private nursing homes, community facilities and in their homes on a phased basis. If someone has a fall or requires a chest x-ray, the diagnostic team will arrive to their residence and an x-ray exam will take place in their own room. The HSE has engaged Mobile Medical Diagnostics to provide the service following a public tender process.
