The Western Trust was delighted to have Health Minister Mike Nesbitt visit the site of the new Lisnaskea Health and Care Centre recently.
Having first visited the site back in January 2025 for the official sod cutting of the new £32.4M state-of-the-art Lisnaskea Health and Care Centre, the Minister was able to see first-hand the progress in construction of the community facility on his recent visit.
During his visit, Minister Nesbitt said:
“I am pleased to see the construction of this vital new health and care centre well underway. This is a significant investment in Primary Care infrastructure for people in Lisnaskea and surrounding areas and, once completed, will provide high-quality care, vital services and clinics to local people into the future. The wide range of services offered will include Podiatry, Speech and Language Therapy, Physiotherapy, Mental Health Services and Older People services, helping to meet the differing needs of patients attending Lisnaskea for care and treatment.”
The Minister also visited Drumhaw Day Centre, where he met with staff and service users.
The new health and care centre will replace the existing Lisnaskea Health Centre, Drumhaw Day Centre, and leased facilities, providing a range of services from one location. This will include GP and Trust Community services (Allied Health Professionals, Midwifery, Health Visiting, District Nursing, Older Peoples Social Work team, Dental and Mental Health services.
Interim Head of Primary Care in the Western Trust Mrs Michelle McKinley said:
“We were delighted to have Health Minister Mr Nesbitt visit the construction site for the new Lisnaskea Health and Care Centre and the existing Drumhaw Day Centre which will move to this new facility.
“The construction of this significant capital build is making good progress and we anticipate that the works will be completed in early 2027. The new Health and Care Centre will provide a range of accessible and integrated services all under one roof, to improve the health and wellbeing of 30,000 service users in the East Fermanagh community, for generations to come.”
