Cork hospitals will benefit from €92.4m in capital investment in the coming five years, say the HSE.

The figure was quoted at a meeting of the Regional Health Forum South, in County Hall, in Cork City, and is for 13 major projects in Cork University Hospital, Mercy University Hospital, South Infirmary Victoria University Hospital, Mallow General, and Bantry General.

Projects range from the provision of a new €29.2m radiology department at CUH to an €11.5m regional department of gastroenterology at the Mercy.
