Major extension to emergency department at Cork University Hospital on hold following appeal

Cork University Hospital. The expansion would not see any increase in staff numbers at the emergency department, planners said.

A major extension to the emergency department at Cork University Hospital has been put on hold after the planning approval granted by Cork City Council was appealed to An Bord Pleanála.

The extension would add 439sqm to the A&E over two floors, along with a new ambulance entrance, a new CT scanning area, and a new decontamination area.
