Funding received for 72-bed facility at TUH
TALLAGHT University Hospital has received confirmation for funding for a new 72-bed facility from the HSE.
This was confirmed by Trevor O’Callaghan, CEO of the Dublin Midlands Hospital Group, at a meeting of the Mid-Leinster Regional Health Forum on Tuesday afternoon.
Following a question by Tallaght Central Fianna Fáil councillor Charlie O’Connor about increasing bed capacity in the hospital, Mr O’Callaghan detailed what action is being taken to achieve this.
“Tallaght University Hospital works continuously to free beds for admitted patients, but there is a clear underlying requirement to develop additional onsite bed capacity,” he said.
“Following completion of an external strategic analysis review which was submitted to the HSE the hospital has received confirmation of funding for the project.
“It will now move to the next stage in the design process to develop a new 72 single bed facility.
“The Board and Executive Management Team welcome this development.”
