Plans revealed for £700,000 extension for Ballycastle Health Centre
Sep 05, 2023
The Northern Health and Social Care Trust has greenlit a £700,000 expansion project for Ballycastle Health Centre.
Both GP practices in the Coleraine Road facility face significant space constraints. During a recent board meeting, members learned of plans to extend the building's front and enhance accessibility for disabled individuals.
A report to the Trust board said:
“The project will meet the medium to long-term accommodation needs of both Dalriada Family Practice and Ballycastle Medical Practice based within Ballycastle Health Centre to ensure the continued delivery of services to their patients.
“Existing arrangements do not support adequate access to sufficient clinical rooms.
“The project will provide a 100m2 traditional new-build extension erected adjacent to the front of the health centre with a connecting door to existing premises. It will provide four additional GP consulting rooms, a waiting area and a disabled WC.
“In addition to the connecting door to existing premises, an external doorway is also included for disabled access and will provide good accessibility with the provision of physical access to the facility for all patients, family and carers.
“The additional accommodation will enable the GP practices to meet shortfalls in their accommodation.”
