Bandon Hospital Expansion Push

Bandon Community Hospital, with just 25 beds including 4 for respite, is struggling to meet the growing demand for long-stay care in a rapidly aging population. Families are forced to send elderly relatives far away, causing isolation and logistical nightmares. The HSE is now hiring a design team to assess regional healthcare needs, with findings expected by early 2027 — a critical step toward building the infrastructure Ireland desperately needs by 2040. Councillor Ann Bambury is pushing hard to make Bandon a regional healthcare hub, backed by research and relentless advocacy, ensuring older residents get quality care close to home.
