Healthy future for Waterford with plans for new €10 million hospital

PLANNING has been granted for a new €10 million 32-bed hospital for Dungarvan in Co Waterford.

Local TD Ollie Wilkinson last night described it as a very positive development for the area.It’s just one of several investments earmarked for Waterford and the south-east, among them an extension to the casualty department at Waterford Regional Hospital and a revamp of its oncology unit.

The Health Service Executive (HSE) is free to advertise for tenders to build the new hospital.
