Tender for ECC hub issued

The HSE has gone to tender on plans to build a new Enhanced Community Care Hub, located just inside the gates of Cavan General Hospital. When complete it will accommodate community specialist teams for chronic diseases including cardiology, diabetes, and respiratory care, as well as acting as a “one-stop-shop” for older people with complex needs.

At the present time Older People Services have been extended into the Lisdarn Community Care building as an interim measure while the hub is being advanced.

It is one of close to a dozen major capital health projects being progressed at various stages across the county, with millions set to be spent in 2025 moving the plans forward.

The public contract for the hub was first advertised last week, and covers the construction of the project on an 18-month contract. The deadline for response to the tender is early next month.
