Construction work has been completed on a new Primary Care Centre in Corduff, Dublin.
The new Corduff Primary Care Centre is now officially opened.
The development is a newly built space designed over three floors. It is 25,000 square feet with a capital cost of €7.6 million. The new Centre benefits from having well-proportioned clinical spaces including a physiotherapy gym, and two occupational therapy gyms suitable for children and adolescents.
An Taoiseach Leo Varadkar said: "High quality primary care services are vitally important in delivering coordinated health care in the community for our citizens. This new centre is at the heart of the community that it serves, and gives Corduff a new focal point, by merging services previously dispersed over five different locations. The Corduff Primary Care Centre is the third provided by the Government in Dublin West, after the Blanchardstown Primary Centre and Navan Road Primary Care Centre. These centres are making it easier for the local population of Dublin 15 to access the community health care they need on their doorstep, and should improve health outcomes as a result."
Mary Walshe, HSE Chief Officer for CHO Dublin North City and County said: "This is a fantastic facility for local residents, offering a wide range of services including GP surgeries, physiotherapy, occupational and speech and language therapy, social work, psychology and mental health teams. The population of Dublin 15 is over 108,000 in the 2016 census. Of that, approximately 26% are under 15 years of age. Corduff PCC is a pivotal location for primary care paediatric services for the population of Dublin 15 and allows a more cohesive approach to delivering services to children. We passionately believe in the potential of primary and community based health services to improve healthcare and ease pressure on our hospitals. I look forward to the continuous expansion of our network of primary care centres in CHO Dublin North City and County and the range of health services these centres can provide."
