The former Fort George army base will be transformed into a vast medical hub set to revolutionise GP services in Londonderry. On completion the development will see the relocation of around 450 existing medical posts, with the creation of a further 250 new positions when the project is completed, marking a total investment by the Western Trust of around £70m. Trust chief executive Dr Anne Kilgallen said the plan is to complete detailed design for the Cityside Health and Care Centre within 28 months. “Progression to tender and award of the construction contract will however be dependent upon a second stage approval being granted by the Department of Health and affordability at that time,” she added.
