The publication of the Health Service Executive’s Capital Plan for 2025 by the Minister for Health, Jennifer Carroll MacNeill TD, brings a transformative investment of €12.58 million to County Mayo, as part of a record €1.33 billion allocated nationally for the development and enhancement of healthcare infrastructure, according to Senator Mark Duffy.

This is welcome news that will help bring healthcare services closer to home and better meet the needs of patients and families across Mayo."
