Further Development For Drogheda Hospital

There's a €1.8 Million hospital conversion contract ready to start which will see part of the old Accident and Emergency facility at Drogheda's Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital made into a Medical Assessment Unit.

It follows the opening of a new multi-million euro emergency department at the Co Louth facility in June.

That unit cost €11.5m to build and is three times larger than the old department, which allows for more patients to be treated in better conditions than before.

The latest contract was recently awarded for an expected start date in September 2010.

The building project will take 10 months with the new Medical Assessment Unit ready for handover by next summer.
