Galway Bay fm newsroom - 12 new beds are to be opened at Portiuncula Hospital today (mon sept 18)
They'll be located in the former outpatients area, which was moved to a modular facility with increased space.
It comes as work continues on a new 50-bed ward block which is set to be completed next year.
Local Senator Aisling Dolan says these are important projects that will relieve pressure on the hospital.
