New Hospital Project
Proposed New NRH Hospital
The New National Rehabilitation Hospital Project
Numerous major milestones have been achieved to date, placing the National Rehabilitation Hospital in a key position in the process towards realising the objective of a new world class rehabilitation facility.
Public Consultation Process
An extensive Public Consultation process took place prior to submitting the planning application for the New NRH on 28th May 2008. The submission received extensive coverage in the print and broadcast media.
Full planning permission for the New Hospital was granted in August 2008; no official objections to the project were lodged.
Tender Evaluation Process
The tender evaluation process commenced in December 2008 and was completed in March 2009. At that stage a report recommending the ‘Most Economically Advantageous Tender’ was presented to the NRH Board and was subsequently submitted to the HSE to seek approval to progress with the project to construction stage. Consultation with the HSE and Department of Health & Children is ongoing.
