HSE grants stay on planned auction of Tynagh Health Centre

Galway Bay fm newsroom – A stay has been placed on the closure of Tynagh Health Centre. The doctor operating at the centre was contacted by Galway Roscommon PCCC last month to advise that the utilisation of the facility has been reviewed and it was to be put up for auction. The HSE says the decision is part of the overall policy to develop modern facilities in primary care centres. Galway East TD Paul Connaughton was part of a delegation to meet HSE management today to discuss the future of the facility. He says a stay on its auction has now been secured until September until a number of issues are clarified. These include its ownership, its market-value and the possibility of expanding services.
