Public invited to shape future of University Hospital Galway

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Manager Chris Kane says outdated facilities that no longer meet modern standards need to be replaced, adding that a permanent helipad base is a necessity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.
