Construction of €6 million Endoscopy Unit at Roscommon Hospital well and truly underway – Feighan

Fine Gael TD for Roscommon/South Leitrim, Frank Feighan, has welcomed the start of construction of the €6 million Endoscopy Unit at Roscommon County Hospital, one of three projects worth a total of €20 million for the hospital.

“Local people can see for themselves, with the recent arrival of a tower crane, that work on the Endoscopy Unit at Roscommon County Hospital is well underway. 

“I look forward to the completion of this 14,000 square foot unit which is set to become a diagnostic centre for the Western region and will facilitate a range of scope procedures for patients, including colonoscopies.

“It is also hoped the service will be widened to offer bronchoscopy, cystoscopy and a range of other similar scope services.

“I gave a commitment to secure significant investment for Roscommon Hospital and the Endoscopy Suite is part of a €20 million investment earmarked for the hospital. The other flagship projects are a Rehab Unit and a Hospice Care Centre. 

“I am glad to say that the County Hospital is now safer and busier. I am also delighted at the great reaction by staff and management to this Endoscopy Unit who understand that these developments have safeguarded the future of the hospital and all the jobs there.”
