No date can be given for when the building of Kenmare hospital will commence according to the HSE. It is included in the capital programme 2009 to 2013. This is of little comfort however, as it has been included in previous capital programmes and has been promised for decades. Locals have been campaigning for many years for a 14 bed extension to the hospital. But the HSE now say a new hospital, built on the existing site, is the most cost effective way of providing community medical services for the Kenmare area. What is required now is a campaign by the people of the area to ensure that a start date is given and contracts are signed.
