Daisy Hill Hospital (Irish: Otharlann Chnoc na Nóiníní)is a local general hospital located in Newry, Northern Ireland.
The hospital currently houses a neo-natal unit, A&E department, outpatients department and a minor surgery suite. Attached to the hospital is on-site accommodation for nursing staff and an ambulance station.
It is part of the Southern Health and Social Care Trust, which became operational on 1 April 2007 following the amalgamation of Craigavon Area Hospital Group, Craigavon and Banbridge Community, Newry and Mourne and Armagh and Dungannon Health and Social Services Trusts.[1] It is situated on the Hospital Road and backs onto the A25 Camlough Road.
In the early 1990's Daisy Hill became the only hospital in Newry & Mourne as services were gradually withdrawn from St. John of God Hospital, also in Newry, which then became St. John's House, a dedicated hospice for children and adults suffering from terminal illnesses.
[edit] New hospital
A £130m business case for the building of a new hospital on the existing Daisy Hill site has been submitted by the Trust. An allocation for modernisation and development of services was included in the £2.9billion investment programme announced for health and social services over the next ten years in the Investment Strategy for Northern Ireland in December 2005.[2]
