Written Answers. - Hospital Building Programme.
My Department is engaged in discussions with the Mid-Western Health Board regarding developments under the national development plan including the provision of a new acute psychiatric unit at Nenagh General Hospital. The detailed planning process for this acute psychiatric unit is not yet complete. In the circumstances, therefore, I am not in a position at this time to state when construction of the unit will commence.
