HSE Mid-West has confirmed that a long-awaited satellite haemodialysis unit will be up and running in Ennis by the middle of 2026.
In response to representations by Clare Fine Gael TD Joe Cooney, the HSE’s Mid-West Acute and Older People Services department said that the HSE Board has approved the provision of the contracted unit.
“The news will be welcomed by those in Clare who must travel to Limerick to receive treatment multiple times every week,” stated Deputy Cooney.
“The HSE has informed me that the unit will be similar to the satellite centre already in place in the Fresenius Medical Care Centre in Limerick,” he added.
“The tender process for the contracted satellite haemodialysis unit in Ennis is now complete and the HSE has identified a supplier, with a view to commencing the service on or before June 2026.”
