At present I am reviewing the capital allocation of my Department. Having regard to the number of contractual commitments entered into, the level of resource likely to be available to me and the priorities of all the health agencies, I regret that I see little prospect, in current economic circumstances, of work on the extension at Kenmare District Hospital starting soon.
