Dental services have resumed at Lifford Community Hospital this week after they were transferred out of the town three months ago to allow for building works.
The HSE Dental Clinic at Lifford Community Hospital currently operates 3 days per week serving the Lifford, Raphoe and St Johnston area. It reopened for appointments on Wednesday 18th December.
In September, Dental Services were temporarily transferred from the Dental Clinic at Lifford to Dental Clinics in both Stranorlar and Letterkenny as remedial building works were required on the premises to ensure they complied with HIQA standards.
The HSE says remedial works have been completed relating to the dental clinical and immediate adjoining rooms, which are connected to the main hospital but external to it.
These works consisted of building and site structure improvements which the HSE says will enhance and improve the quality of patient care.
“We wish to apologise to any inconvenience caused to our service users and would like to thank them for their cooperation, while these essential works were ongoing,” a spokesperson said.
