View answerAn upgraded Central Sterile Services Department at Roscommon University Hospital has been included in the National Development Plan (NDP), announced earlier this year.
The HSE has advised that HSE Estates and the Saolta University Health Care Group have agreed on a proposal and the project brief will be submitted shortly for review by the HSE's National Capital and Property Steering Group in line with HSE protocols for capital developments.
