Blackrock Clinic to go under the knife in €100m, 5-year expansion

BLACKROCK Clinic is to undergo a €100 million expansion, which will bring its bed capacity to 160 — a 42% increase.

The expansion will create 100 jobs at the independently owned health care facility. Also on completion of the five-year expansion — which will include a three-floor extension to the existing hospital facility and a multi-storey car park - it will be the first major acute hospital to accommodate all inpatients in single rooms, said Blackrock Clinic.

The scheme will incorporate two new operating theatres, including an additional specialised orthopaedic theatre, which will result in a 40% increase in availability of theatre space.
