Planning permission granted for Mayo University Hospital extension

A new two-storey extension to house expanded Emergency Department and Acute Medical Admissions Unit has been approved.

The plan includes a ground floor expansion with a dedicated paediatric area, refurbished resuscitation facilities, and a gynaecology treatment suite.

The first floor will feature patient cubicles, triage rooms, and staff support facilities.

The planned upgrade also includes Solar PV arrays, thermal performance enhancements, and infrastructure improvements.

The project is to be delivered in a multiphase approach with minimal disruption to ongoing services.

It is expected the extension will have improvements in accessibility, sustainability, and patient experience overall.
