The HSE says it’s ‘considering its options’ in re-advertising for an alternative location for a primary care centre in Sixmilebridge.
It comes as what the HSE refers to as a ‘legal agreement’ between themselves and the developer of the centre has fallen through.
The works, which will see a two-storey centre constructed between the Shannon Road and Ashview Drive, have already been granted planning permission by Clare County Council.
Sixmilebridge-based Independent Councillor PJ Ryan says there are a number of other locations in the town that would be suitable for the project.
Statement from the HSE
The HSE’s Estates division has been engaging with the developer of the proposed Primary Care Centre accommodation at Sixmilebridge. Unfortunately a legal agreement between the developer and the HSE to deliver the proposed Primary Care Centre accommodation has not been concluded. The HSE’s Estates division is therefore considering its options to re-advertise for this location. While this will likely impact on the timeframe for delivery of the project there remains a commitment to progress the project as a priority healthcare accommodation requirement for the area.
