Construction is expected to take at least two years.
People in Portlaoise can hope to have a Primary Care Centre in 2026 at the earliest.
That's if plans, which are due to be submitted in early in the New Year, are delivered without any unforeseen delay.
Construction is expected to begin in 2024 with the project expected to take 24-28 months to complete.
Laois Offaly TD Sean Flemming says: "We all hope that this time-frame will be achieved and this is dependent on capital funding being available and the HSE management being determined to stick to the timescale."
