An announcement is expected on the location for Cork's new elective hospital this week.
It's expected to be one of several announcements this month designed to restore confidence in Sláintecare reforms
for the health service.
Today's Echo reports the new elective hospital will be for day procedures only, with no in-patients’ beds.
The exact locations for the new elective hospitals in Dublin, and Galway are also expected to be announced this week.
