28 April, 2009
STATEMENT BY BON SECOURS CORK
The management of Bon Secours Hospital, Cork is delighted with the decision by An Bord Pleanala to grant permission for a €100 million expansion at its College Road site.
The development plans include the construction of a multi-storey car park, a new five-storey wing with an additional eighty private rooms, two new orthopaedic theatres, which represents a significant expansion of the hospital’s orthopaedic facilities, a new Cancer Centre with radiotherapy and a PET/CT scanner, and expanded day ward and inpatient facilities.
The hospital currently has well-established cancer services incorporating multi-disciplinary teams in medical oncology, surgery, radiology and pathology. The addition of radiotherapy services will mean the Bon Secours Cancer Centre will provide a full range of state-of-the-art cancer services for its patients.
Hospital management expects that a detailed design and tendering process will take place over the next three or four months and that the construction phase of the development will take approximately two years.
The Bon Secours Health System is the largest independent private healthcare provider in Ireland. Built on an ethos of quality care and compassion, it provides world-class medical treatment, delivered in a uniquely caring environment. The Bon Secours Health System has some of the most technologically advanced hospitals in the country located in Cork, Dublin, Galway and Tralee and the Mount Desert Care Village, Cork.
