An Bord Pleanála has granted planning permission for a co-located private hospital on the grounds of Cork University Hospital.The planning appeals body delivered its decision today following an oral hearing into the matter last year,a ccording to breakingnews.ie. A number of local residents' groups objected to the proposal, arguing it would lead to traffic congestion.
The €250m facility, which is due to be built by the Beacon Medical Group, will cater for up to 11,000 in-patients and carry out 12,000 surgical procedures each year.
