As the Deputy will be aware, responsibility for the provision of health services in the Cork area rests with the Southern Health Board in the first instance.
The Southern Health Board has submitted a draft planning brief to my Department for an 18 bed extension to Kanturk Community Hospital as part of its national development plan 2000-2006. My Department is currently examining this submission and will continue to liaise with the board to progress this project in line with the board's capital development priorities and capital funding available to the board under the national development plan.
