Galway Bay fm newsroom – A business case for the development of a primary care centre at Shantalla in the city has been submitted to the HSE.
The health executive is hoping to provide a centre at 25 Newcastle Road to accommodate four primary care teams, community mental health team, and hospital outreach services.
The plan is part of the HSE’s efforts to provide primary care facilities in the east and west of the city.
A centre opened in Doughiska in 2011, and a campaign ensued in a bid to have the City West centre located at Knocknacarra.
However, the HSE says due to a variety of factors, Knocknacarra is not a feasibile location for a primary care facility.
A business case for the propoosed centre at Shantalla has now been submitted to the HSE National Property committee for consideration.
