HSE reveals Cork plans

The HSE has embarked on a new drive to secure the development of primary care facilities on the southside of Cork City.

And it has confirmed that design work on a major new primary care centre on the northside has begun.

This facility, which will be built on the grounds of St Mary’s Health Campus in Gurranabraher, will also provide accommodation for University College Cork, including a dental school service, the faculty of general practice, and a Centre for Urban Health Studies and Health and Wellbeing Centre — offering the potential for undergraduate and post-graduate education and training programmes.
