Call For Tender Process To Proceed To Extend Community Nursing Home

Fianna Fáil is calling for the tender process to extend a Community Nursing Home in Sligo to proceed without delay.

Construction work on the site of Ballymote Community Nursing Home is to get underway later this year and the new unit is expected to open in 2018.

TD for Sligo-Leitrim Eamon Scanlon said: "I have been highlighting the importance of this extension for some time, and one this work is completed it will provide much needed additional beds for older people in the Sligo region.

"Fianna Fáil has consistently emphasised the importance of step down and nursing home care in the community. It allows people to receive the care and treatment they need, while still remaining near their family. These extra beds will also relieve the pressure on capacity in Sligo University Hospital.

"This additional capacity is badly needed and I am urging the HSE to ensure that these works are prioritised so that the extension can be delivered on schedule."
