Essential upgrade work at Carndonagh Community Hospital, which was due to start in 2017, has been pushed back by yet again.
The project, which was announced more than three years ago, has had no tender documents issued and no contractor appointed.
The upgrade was most recently due to start in late 2019 with a completion date of 2021 following written confirmation by the Health Service Executive to the Carndonagh Community Hospital Liaison Group in March.
In 2016, Minister Joe McHugh announced funding of €2.6m for the premises under the government’s 2016-21 capital plan in January 2016.
Planning permission was later sanctioned for the project in 2017.
Residents of Carndonagh Community Hospital were due to move to Buncrana Nursing Unit while the first phase of the upgrade got underway.
The Buncrana Nursing Unit was also sanctioned an upgrade but work was due to commence there when upgrade works to Carndonagh Community Hospital had been completed.
