Limerick health centre services at 'critical point' as HSE plans for new primary care facility

The proposed relocation of services would result in a modern facility accessible not only to patients in Limerick but also to many in Tipperary and Clare, the HSE said

The HSE is seeking to commission a business case to now be conducted which, when contracted, should take around 16 weeks to deliver.

The HSE is to prepare a business case for a much-needed new primary care centre in Limerick city, as the current accommodation for staff “falls short of current legislation and standards”.

“Integrated Health Care and multi-disciplinary working is inhibited by the current design and configuration of the Health Centre from which primary care is provided,” the HSE said. “These issues are now reaching a critical point which must be addressed.”
