Plan will be to develop hubs in Dublin, Limerick, Galway, Cork, and Waterford in next 12-18 months
The intent is to develop the hubs in Dublin, Limerick, Galway, Cork, and Waterford within the next 12-18 months, either by retrofit or modular build. They would be kept separate from emergency services, meaning they would be kept free for patients awaiting scheduled care and reducing the risk of short-notice cancellations when the healthcare system is under pressure.
The hubs will focus on high volume surgeries like urology, vascular surgery, orthopaedics, gynaecology and ophthalmology.
