Health Minister promises update on Cork SouthDoc's reopening

Stephen Donnelly said the closure of SouthDoc in Blackpool in March due to the pandemic was 'temporary in nature

GPs have been calling for the SouthDoc centre in Blackpool to reopen.

The Health Minister has promised to give two Cork TDs an update in the coming days on when an out-of-hours GP service is likely to re-open on the north side of Cork city.

Stephen Donnelly told Solidarity TD Mick Barry and Fianna Fáíl TD Pádraig O’Sullivan, who raised the ongoing closure in the Dáil, that the closure of SouthDoc in Blackpool in March due to the pandemic was “temporary in nature” and he promised to revert soon.
