Tipp developments included in new hse plan

The provision of two new theatres at Nenagh hospital and an extension of the Borrisokane Primary Care Centre are included in the HSE's Service Plan for 2015, which was published today.

Tipperary TD Noel Coonan (FG) has welcomed the plan. He outlined the capital infrastructure due to take place in Tipperary in 2015 as a result of the plan.
'The extension of Borrisokane Primary Care Centre is expected to be fully Operational in Q1 2016. Included in the plan is the provision of two new theatres at Nenagh General Hospital adjacent to the existing theatre department in Q1 2015,' explained Deputy Coonan.

'I want to thank my Fine Gael colleague Health Minister Leo Varadkar for prioritising Tipperary projects and acknowledging my representations for the advancement of each facility. In particular, I have been pushing for the development and opening of Borrisokane Primary Care Centre since I was a member of the Regional Health Board in 2009. I never gave up the fight for the centre and have been working in the background for this to come to fruition,' Deputy Coonan stated.
