Redevelopment of Craigavon Area Hospital
That this Assembly stresses the importance of sustained capital investment in Northern Ireland’s hospital network; notes, in this regard, the growing need to address inequalities in the allocation of funding for projects between Health and Social Care Trust areas; expresses particular concern that the redevelopment of Craigavon Area Hospital has not yet commenced despite a masterplan being completed in 2016; recalls the Southern Health and Social Care Trust’s Covid-19 Serious Adverse Incident Report, published in 2023, which found that ageing equipment, lack of clinical accommodation, including insufficient beds, theatre, day surgery and endoscopy space, as well as limited toilets and shower facilities, were leading to an increased risk of infection transmission; believes this situation is unsustainable; welcomes engagement between representatives of the Southern Health and Social Care Trust and the Department of Health on plans to advance fresh plans for the redevelopment of Craigavon Area Hospital site; and calls on the Minister of Health to approve, and provide finance for, the Trust’s programme business case for the project in the next financial year.
