The €4m project involves major refurbishment of the existing ward accommodation to the south east of the hospital and the provision of a new single storey extension, which when complete will deliver a new 24 bed ward facility. The extension is proposed as a single storey L-shaped block which links into the existing. The existing ward area proposed for refurbishment will accommodate a number of the ancillary ward facilities to the north of the existing corridor including Ward Kitchen, Assisted Bathroom, and Doctors office, with Staff rest and change facilities to the south at the entrance to the ward from the main hospital circulation.
