In early 2019 the HSE introduced an enhanced internal governance structure for the approval of new development funding. The establishment of the processes around this enhanced oversight resulted in a delay in the receipt of drawdown submissions from the HSE in the first half of the year. Delayed submissions have now been received or are due to be received shortly and funding will be released in due course. The temporary delay in funding approval arising from the revised administrative processes has not affected the delivery of the associated services.
The following table outlines the funding released to date in 2019.
