Southern Trust director says plan 'heavily dependent on approvals'
A "disappointing" new two year delay to developing the £88m Newry Community Treatment and Care Centre has been criticised as "bad business".
Crotlieve SDLP rep, Declan McAteer said: "Can you update on the Newry clinical hub to be built for us? I think it is the very last one out of the primary care projects spread out through Northern Ireland in the last 10 years. It has not even commenced building yet never-mind being operational." Southern Trust director of finance, Catherine Teggart responded: "In relation to the CTCC, the Trust purchased the land and the plans at the site two years ago and we have been preparing an outline business case to the Department , which has been submitted in April.
"The original case had included GPs for primary care, and we know in our revised model we will hold some space there for primary care, it will also be used for community treatment and it will help to relieve some of the pressures on Daisy Hill ."
