I understand that proposals are being considered by the Southern Health Board regarding capital projects in the acute and non-acute hospitals in County Kerry. The board will prioritise the proposals in the context of its funding under the national development plan. Progress on any project will be a matter for the board in the first instance based on available resources and the priority attached it by the board. The costings of individual projects will be a matter for detailed discussion between my Department and the board.
