Episode Details

Cork’s new elective hospital is finally moving forward, with plans to submit its application by late 2026 — aiming to ease overcrowding by relocating non-emergency surgeries from main hospitals. Though delayed from its original 2027 finish, construction could begin as early as 2030, with detailed designs underway and road access challenges being addressed. Set on the Glanmire site of St Stephen’s Hospital, the project has strong backing from Cork City Council. Meanwhile, a surgical hub at Cork University Hospital opens this fall, handling similar procedures — and both are part of a broader plan to create a unified, public-only waiting list for elective care.
