CUH plans helipad for next year

A helipad could be operational at Cork University Hospital by December 2017.

CUH group chief executive Tony McNamara confirmed the date yesterday in a report to the HSE’s Southern Regional Forum.

“Following completion of initial design and engagement with Cork City Council, it is intended to engage with local resident groups,” said Mr McNamara. “The current anticipated date for an operational helipad on-site is December 2017.”
