The development will include a Primary Care Centre to deliver health and social care services to the people of the North Monaghan area. The site was selected following a recent review by HSE Estates and Cavan Monaghan Integrated Service Area of potential sites in the area including two sites on the St Davnet's Campus in Monaghan town.
The HSE has also announced an allocation of €9.5m from the National Capital Plan to develop the centre.
