Carrick Medical Centre is situated at the new Primary Care Centre in Carrick-on-Shannon
At a meeting of the Regional Health Forum West in Galway this morning, it emerged that the NoWDOC service will move to Carrick-on-Shannon Primary Care Centre early in the new year.
Cllr Finola Armstrong-McGuire asked the meeting why the HSE had not relocated medical services and NOWDOC at Inver Geal,
Cortober, Carrick-on-Shannon to new purpose designed and built suite at the Primary Care Centre in Carrick-on-Shannon.
A reply from Dermot Monaghan, Chief Officer, Community Healthcare Organisation (Cavan, Donegal, Leitrim, Monaghan,
Sligo), said the NoWDOC space within the new facility in Carrick-on-Shannon was being used as a Covid Vaccination Clinic
up until mid-July and this delayed having specific and necessary works undertaken to allow for NoWDOC’s occupancy.
"The relocation of NoWDOC to the new facility is dependent on these works being completed and agreement being reached between all parties concerned; however, we are hoping that the NoWDOC service will be in situ at the new facility by the end of January 2023.
"Dr. Pauric Fallon’s GP Practice will also move into the Carrick-on-Shannon PCC when NoWDOC move from their current location," the reply concluded.
