Hospital opening delayed by a year
The opening of the new hospital in Killarney has been delayed by a year, with full operation now expected no sooner than next winter, according to Councillor Marie Moloney.
Cllr Moloney received confirmation of the delay from Health and Safety Executive (HSE) officials on Thursday afternoon and expressed her “disappointment" at the news.
The delay also impacts the planned Minor Injuries Clinic, which was set to open in the existing St. Columbanus home once patients were moved to the new hospital.
"I got confirmation at a HSE meeting in Cork that the Minor Injuries Clinic will be located in St Columbanus’s and will commence when patients are relocated to the new community nursing unit," Cllr. Moloney said.
"When questioned as to when it’s likely that they will open the new hospital (Community Nursing Unit) the reply I got was hopefully before next winter which is very disappointing as it has been completed with some time now."
