Progress on Long-Awaited Gorey Primary Care Centre as Site Identified

Malcolm Byrne says the project is critical for North Wexford, where there is an ongoing shortage of GPs despite existing services doing “a very good job.” He noted the development has been under discussion for nearly 16 years.

The Health Service Executive has indicated that negotiations around the site should be completed by the end of June, with a formal announcement expected shortly after.

Deputy Byrne says he will continue to push for progress, stressing the urgency of delivering improved healthcare access in the region.

The proposed centre would also provide a permanent base for the Children’s Disability Network Team and support the addition of a new CAMHS team for the county, addressing ongoing concerns around access to services for young people.
