The public is being invited to shape the future of University Hospital Galway through a series of drop-in consultations on the development plans
They include two new bed blocks with 300 additional inpatient beds; a new Emergency Department, ICU and Surgical block, a new cancer centre, laboratory and a new Women and Children’s unit on the campus
Manager Chris Kane says outdated facilities that no longer meet modern standards need to be replaced, adding that a permanent helipad base is a necessity
Local residents, businesses and community groups are invited to review the plans and to offer feedback.
The first public drop-ins will be held next week – on Monday and Saturday at St Joseph’s Community Centre, Shantalla from 11am to 7pm
