The HSE applied for planning last year to demolish a number of derelict structures on the campus of Croom Orthopaedic Hospital and although the application was referred to An Taisce and the Department of Heritage for review no submssions were made by members of the public.
Permission was granted for the demolition of two buildings - the old fever hospital and the former nurses home - but conditions attached include a requirement for more investigation and research so that a Preservation by Record approach is taken.
One of the longest established hospitals in the region turns the page on an exciting new chapter in its history this week, with the opening of the newly developed 24-bed block at Croom Orthopaedic Hospital.
‘The Maigue Unit’, named for the river that flows through Croom village, is a modern, state-of-the-art ward complex, with its 24 en-suite single rooms built around a courtyard garden area, and forms a visually stunning architectural showpiece at the entrance to Croom Orthopaedic Hospital.
Work is also ongoing on the first floor of the facility to complete a new €15m theatre suite, complete with four new operating theatres, a first stage recovery room and reception area, as well as a new Sterile Services Department and other ancillary support spaces.
