Tánaiste Micheál Martin has officially opened a new community nursing unit in Tuam today.

The facility forms part of the Tuam Health Campus, located at the Old Grove Hospital site.

The community nursing unit is named after the late Joe & Helen O’ Toole, who provided funding for the facility.

The overall campus represents an investment of around €50m and also hosts a primary care centre, an ambulance base, and mental health day hospital.
