Long-awaited Ballyshannon Community Hospital could open on Tuesday

The new, long-awaited Community Hospital in Ballyshannon could be set to open next Tuesday.

The hospital was due to open on Monday of this week but was stalled due to concerns from the INMO around planned staffing levels.

However, following consultation with senior HSE management, a date has been fixed for Tuesday, February 20th.

Confirming the news, local Fianna Fáil Councillor Mícheál Naughton says the facility will be of huge benefit to the north west region.
