Written answers

Significant work has been undertaken on the preparation of a design brief for the proposed outline development control plan for Cavan General Hospital.

The work has been done as part of the process of agreeing future capital requirements for each of the five acute hospitals in the two hospital groups in the North Eastern Health Board area. Final agreement of the Cavan General Hospital ODCP brief will be subject to the definition of the board's priorities for development on this site in the context of the health capital programme. Funding resources available to progress capital projects nationally under the health capital framework 2004-2008 will also be taken into account.

A detailed submission from the NEHB is expected shortly and will be examined by my Department.
