Developer Billed For Dublin Hospital Bid
A huge new medical facility in south Dublin could be open as early as 2013 - but there would be a 'cost'.
As reported in brief on €160m Private Hospital Gets Green Light earlier this month, An Bord Pleanala has already granted planning permission to the Beacon Medical Group for a new €160m facility in Sandyford, south Dublin, beside its existing hospital.
However, it has now emerged that construction of the new hospital depends on around €1m to fund new roads as well as more to pay for the Luas extension to serve the hospital and to fund the upgrading of sewerage works.
However, once these elements are agreed, it would take around 30 months and since work could start once full planning permission is granted, the hospital should be completed in 2013.
Landmark Developments on behalf of the Beacon Medical Group will build the 127-bed hospital. Although privately operated, the hospital will also be open to public patients.
The developers said it would deliver maternity services to public patients if the Health Service Executive (HSE) were willing to pay for it.
The Beacon Medical Group said that its new hospital would create 550 construction jobs, with 450 people employed when the building is complete.
The project will be built on the site beside the existing Beacon Hospital, and is to include 127 single en-suite patient rooms, divided into paediatric, maternity and gynaecology wards, supported by six delivery rooms, 12 neonatal intensive-care and special-care beds, four theatres, 30 day-care beds, eight urgent-care beds and 16 consultant/general clinical suites.
