It remains the intention of the Health Service Executive (HSE) to proceed with the development of the North East Regional Hospital as resources permit. I am advised by the HSE that alternative funding mechanisms such as Public Private Partnerships are currently being explored. In the interim the focus is on restructuring acute hospital services in the area concerned in line with its Transformation Programme and on ensuring that services in the area are organised in a way which optimises patient safety.
