Against a background of growing demand for unscheduled care and high acute hospital occupancy rates, Government provided €40 million in 2018 for measures to increase acute hospital capacity and alleviate overcrowding in Emergency Departments.

As part of these initiatives, funding has been allocated for the provision of a new 40 bed modular unit at South Tipperary General Hospital. Work on the development of the project is on-going, with construction underway.
