A grant from the Hospitals Trust Board of 100 per cent. of the approved cost of the erection of Cork regional hospital and of a 100-bed maternity unit will be made available. The amount of the grant to be made available for the erection of the Cork Fever Hospital is still under consideration in my Department and it is expected that a decision will be communicated to the Cork Corporation in the immediate future.
