Construction work on the new Omagh Hospital and Primary Care complex has been completed.

West Tyrone MLA Declan McAleer toured the new hospital along with Michaela Boyle MLA and other local representatives, including Cllrs Sean Clarke and Frankie Donnelly.

Mr McAleer said: "This is a state-of-the-art healthcare facility right at the heart of the Omagh community. With a range of co-located services under the one roof, this represents the vision outlined by Professor Bengoa.

"With services such as GPs, urgent care, cardiac assessment, renal, a children’s dept and 40 individual en suite wards this new facility will cater for the vast majority of health needs for generations to come.

"There are 17 different specialties in the new complex and the introduction of the new shuttle bus service (384e) every 30 minutes from Omagh bus station starting at 7.40am until 6pm, then hourly until 9pm, makes the new facility accessible for everyone."
