The question of progressing the Dingle Community Hospital to construction is at present being considered by my Department in the context of finalising the capital investment framework 2004-08 for the health service. This will determine what new capital commitments can be progressed in 2004 or beyond, in line with overall funding resources available for the years in question. While it is not possible to give a precise date at this stage in relation to a construction date for this project, I expect this to be finalised shortly. My Department will continue to liaise with the Southern Health Board on the matter and I will ask that the Deputy be kept advised of developments.
