Written Answers. - Hospital Development.
The assessment and prioritisation of capital development needs across the eastern region is a matter in the first instance for the Eastern Regional Health Authority. I am aware that proposals have been prepared for the development of St. Columcille's Hospital, Loughlinstown. These proposals are being considered by my Department, in conjunction with the Eastern Regional Health Authority, in the context of decisions to be taken on the allocation of funding for hospital developments within the national development plan.
