HSE shuts offices in centralisation move

The HSE is closing its administration offices and public counter at Abbeycourt House, Cork, as part of a centralisation programme.

From next Monday, Oct 8, the public will instead be able to get advice on community services from the health centre at Grattan Street.

Gabrielle O’Keeffe, the HSE’s general manager in Cork, said that in line with the Public Service Agreement, the administration of the community services schemes including the community adult ophthalmic scheme, blind welfare allowance, drug payment scheme, maternity and infant schemes are being centralised in three sites in West Cork, North Cork and Cork City.
