The 20-bed facility is due to be built in Tullamore.
The Taoiseach is seeking a meeting with the HSE to discuss the delivery of a new hospice for the midlands.
The €20 million, 20-bed facility is due to be constructed on a site on Arden Lane, or the Wellwood Healthcare Campus, in Tullamore.
Health Minister, Stephen Donnelly, is yet to make a decision on where exactly it'll be based, and insists he will announce the location "shortly."
Taoiseach, Simon Harris, says there's a glaring omission in this regard in the midlands:
