Cllr Hazel Smyth and Cllr Carol Okeke called for the redevelopment of St Loman’s at a Regional Health Forum meeting for the Dublin Mid Leinster area on Tuesday, 16 April. The pair submitted a motion that the HSE “urgently prioritises the re-development of the St Loman’s former psychiatric hospital in Mullingar and provide a full update regarding same”. In response, the HSE said the future use of the building is “being considered”.
“The St. Loman’s former psychiatric hospital building due to its age and conditions is not readily compatible for the provision of modern healthcare services and its future use is being considered. The HSE are open to find an alternative use for the St. Loman’s hospital building in line with the HSE’s Property Protocol and the Department of Public Expenditure, NDP Delivery and Reform Circular 11/201, where the property is offered to all State Stakeholders through the Intra-State Property Register.”
