The new facilities complete the development of the Health Village – which already accommodates local GPs – on the site of the former Banbridge Hospital.

The minister said: “I am delighted to be able to officially open the new facilities. These new sites are modern and house state-of-the-art facilities which will enable the local community to receive the best possible healthcare. They provide a wide range of primary care, community and acute diagnostic services at a single location and demonstrate the principles of Transforming Your Care.”

The new Health and Care Centre will have around 220 staff delivering a range of community services including physiotherapy, occupational therapy and speech and language therapy, specialist nursing, a rehabilitation suite and two dental surgeries.
