A New Ross councillor is calling for urgent action regarding the stalled primary care center project in New Ross.
After over a decade of planning, the HSE has announced that they must start from scratch due to complications with the selected site and the project’s high costs.
Cllr Michael Sheehan said This delay is particularly frustrating as nearby areas like Enniscorthy and Ferrybank have already opened new state-of-the-art facilities.
The councillor said that after 14 years, this lack of progress is unacceptable
Speaking to South East Radio News Michael Sheehan said that the people of New Ross deserve better healthcare services and that the urgency to open a primary care center must be prioritized.
South East Radio issued a statement on the matter this morning (Friday 4th)
The HSE’s Primary Care Centre project for New Ross envisages people in the town and surrounding areas accessing a full range of community healthcare and primary care services in one location.
The project in New Ross is being delivered by way of the HSE’s Primary Care Centre Operational Lease Model. The project is due to be re-advertised to the market later this year.
The HSE is committed to the development of a new Primary Care Centre in New Ross.
