Here is a reply to me from the Minister for Health’s Office advising that the long awaited procurement of the 42 bed medical project should be completed in Q1 2024 with a view of going to construction towards the end of 2024. HEA-MO-00671-2024 12th February 2024 ‎ ‎Dear Cllr. Walsh, ‎ Thank you for your recent correspondence concerning the provision of a new 42-bed medical block and theatre suite at SUH. The delivery of health capital projects is a dynamic process, subject to the successful completion of the various project approval stages in line with the newly published Infrastructure Guidelines and also taking into account market response noting recent and current labour market and wider macroeconomic dynamics. The proposals for additional beds for Sligo University Hospital are noted against recent progress where 1,126 acute beds have been opened across the country since 2020. This represents more acute hospital beds delivered than in any comparable period since the HSE was established. A service need for additional bed capacity was identified in Sligo University Hospital and an additional 42-bed project is underway. The project will deliver 2 x 21 bed wards, single en-suite rooms with ancillary accommodation. Planning permission and fire certifications have been received for the project. Essential enabling works to facilitate the provision of a new Ward Block including a car park are under construction and nearing completion. The 42 bed project is out for tender. Tenders for the project are expected back by end Q1 2024. A review of the tender options will take place following their submission, and the preferred tender offered the contract in line with established procedures. Following awarding of the contract, it is anticipated construction will commence in Q3 2024 with an estimated construction timeline of 30 months. https://lnkd.in/e-VZxn9H

👀 Check out this timelapse view of the construction of Yeovil Diagnostics Centre! 🏗 Prime is delivering the purpose-built facility alongside Somerset NHS Foundation Trust and contractors Darwin Group, with 72 modules successfully installed across eight nights, minimising disruption to the hospital. The three-storey, 2,687m2 centre was designed to utilise Modern Methods of Construction (MMC) to enable the scheme to be delivered within a ten-month construction period, ensuring that the Trust and local community can benefit from the centre later this year. The project is being delivered up to 60 per cent faster and with up to 90 per cent less waste than traditional building methods, making it one of the most efficient and sustainable options in the marketplace. The centre prioritises sustainability, boasting a high-performing, low-energy design that achieves net zero embodied carbon and a projected biodiversity net gain of 267%. The building achieved BREEAM Excellent design stage certification which puts it within the top 10% performing newbuild non-domestic buildings in the country. It will provide over 70,000 diagnostic tests and outpatient appointments annually, offering a range of diagnostic services and a comprehensive range of outpatients services. It means that patients won’t need to go to busy hospitals for some diagnostic tests, freeing up capacity for patients who require more complex care.

I’m all about supporting fresh solutions for healthcare, and I believe modular buildings could transform the landscape even further when it comes to how we provide care. With our focus on being quick, flexible, and eco-friendly, modular construction is a smart way to tackle the challenges our healthcare systems are facing today. One of the biggest perks of modular structures is how fast we can manufacture them and they can be put together. When a crisis hits, like during public health emergencies or natural disasters, having the ability to quickly set up healthcare facilities can literally save lives. Another brilliant aspect about modular buildings is their flexibility. As healthcare needs change, these buildings can be easily modified or expanded, without the usual long wait times and patient disruptions. This can be pivotal as we see more demand for services, innovation and expansion. With sustainability being so important in healthcare today, our buildings can really help reduce facilities' environmental impact. As we think about the future of healthcare, using modular buildings could be a key piece in creating care environments that are more responsive, efficient, and sustainable. Have a look at some of our healthcare case studies and see how we are pushing what can be achieved with volumetric solutions below.
