Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
Implementation of Sláintecare Reforms: Department of Health and HSE
Mr. Damien McCallion:
We are at the tender stage. For example, construction work is ongoing in Mount Carmel in south Dublin. The plan is to be open before the end of the year. It is already working on recruitment. Similarly, for north Dublin, the first phase will open towards the end of this year and the second phase will be next year. At the other sites, in terms of construction, the tender is just in the cooling off period for Waterford, Limerick and Cork. For Galway, the tender company has been selected and work is being done on planning adjustments at the moment. The actual opening date will be subject to the final tender and final contract plan. There are no issues with recruitment in those scheduled to open.
