A €100 MILLION expansion at one of the country’s best-known private hospitals, Blackrock Clinic and general medical inflation last year contributed to the hospital’s pre-tax profits decreasing by 11% to €12.3 million.

Documents filed by the Blackrock Hospital Ltd and subsidiaries to the Companies Office confirm that revenues at the company sustained a 4% drop in turnover from €87.8m to €84.3m to the end of December last.

The hospital in south Co Dublin is undergoing a major expansion that involves the construction of three additional floors, the provision of a state-of-the-art intensive care unit and the refurbishment of the existing hospital.
