Cork hospital and nursing unit openings

Summary

Deputy Moynihan asked for opening dates for Millstreet and Kanturk community nursing units and the Mallow General Hospital extension. The Chair noted he had raised three topics, and the Minister said he would ask the Department for a detailed timetable.

Major work is ongoing to refurbish and extend three important pieces of health infrastructure. It was hoped the units at Millstreet Community Hospital and Kanturk Community Hospital would be completed by the end of the year but it is now hoped to have them completed, opened and occupied by early next year. I would like a date for that. The work on an extension to Mallow General Hospital is hugely welcome for the entire region of north Cork and I compliment everybody involved in it. Perhaps we could get a date for it opening.

Comment on this

The Deputy's question was supposed be about one topic. He is getting great value for Cork with three topics raised in one go.

Comment on this

I acknowledge Deputy Moynihan's ongoing advocacy for having these centres opened in Cork. With regard to the Millstreet and Kanturk community nursing units and Mallow General Hospital, I will ask the Department to revert to the Deputy with a detailed response on when we will have them up and running.
