Will the Minister for Health provide an update on the development of the community nursing unit at Midleton Community Hospital and make a statement on the matter?

Sentiment score: 0.03

I thank the Minister for her response. I also thank her Department and the HSE for progressing this development. Midleton Community Hospital supports residents and their families across east Cork and I am delighted, as I am sure the families of residents are, to see that the staff's hard work is being rewarded with a new facility that will accommodate increased numbers. The Minister has outlined the anticipated progression of the project and it is welcome news that it is progressing quickly. What use is planned for the Midleton Community Hospital building when residents have been moved to the new unit?

Will the Minister outline the total intended staff numbers and positions within the 50-bed community nursing unit, once it opens?
