Increased day-patients boost Blackrock Clinic profits

Increased in-patient and day-care activity last year contributed to pre-tax profits at the Blackrock Clinic increasing by 23.6% to €13.6m.

New figures show that Blackrock Hospital Ltd and subsidiaries enjoyed the jump in profits as revenues increased by 11%, from €93.25m to €103.4m.

In the accounts, the firm’s directors state that the increase in activity “was possible because of the additional capacity created as part of the hospital’s expansion and refurbishment programme which has enlarged the hospital’s in-patient and day care capacity by between 50% and 100%”.
