Last Month, the HSE confirmed that funding of €100,000 will be made available in 2018 for the design phase of the new Beaumont ED project and will be included in the HSE's 2018 Capital Plan.

An EU procurement process will commence in early 2018 to progress the selection and appointment of a design team for the project.

The costs involved in the development of the new Emergency Department will be informed by the work of the successful project team upon their appointment and this work will be undertaken in conjunction with Beaumont Hospital and the HSE.
