The report of a consultancy firm, commissioned by the HSE to carry out an independent study on a possible location for a new Regional Hospital in the North East, was considered by the Board of the HSE last April. The contents of the report were noted by the Board. No decision has been taken to date by the Government or by the HSE on the location of the new hospital. The HSE has advised that the resource implications of a new Regional Hospital are under consideration.
