As the Deputy will be aware, the provision of health services in County Mayo, is in the first instance, the responsibility of the Western Health Board. I understand from the board that a site has been identified and it is in the process of purchasing same.
My Department is at present examining the health capital programme to ascertain what new projects can be progressed through either planning or construction stages, taking account of existing commitments and overall funding resources available. It is in this context that my Department will continue to liaise with the Western Health Board regarding the proposed development at Ballinrobe in the light of the board's overall capital funding priorities.
