As indicated in the Programme for Government, existing policy of co-location of private hospitals on public hospital lands will cease.
Extensions granted in respect of the project agreements for the four most advanced co-location projects expired at the end of March 2011. The HSE also contacted the private parties involved with the other co-location projects, which were at earlier stages of the procurement and contractual processes, to inform them that it will not be proceeding with those projects.
