asked the Minister for Health when it is intended to provide the long promised maternity and paediatric services in the James Connolly Memorial Hospital, Blanchardstown, Dublin 15.
Written Answers. - Development of Dublin Hospital.
33.
The planning brief for the development of the hospital is with my Department at present. I am considering in the context of the capital allocation of my Department when this project can proceed to the next stage of planning (i.e., preparation of a development control plan) and onwards from that point to complete re-development in accordance with the planning brief which has been prepared. In the absence of a development control plan it is impossible for my Department to outline in detail the precise time or nature of the phasing for the development.
