Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 16 July 2015
520. Deputy Martin Heydon asked the Minister for Health the amount of investment from capital spending his Department has made in County Kildare since 2011; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [29901/15]
View answerMy Department has not issued any capital grants in respect of investment in health care facilities in County Kildare since 2011. Capital grants have been made to agencies under the aegis of my Department such as the Health Research Board, Health Information and Quality Authority, CORU and National Cancer Registry Ireland. These capital grants enable the agencies to delivery their national remit.
Since January 2015, my Department has provided capital grants to the HSE to enable it to delivery health care infrastructure nationally.
The HSE has been requested to provide you with the following information: capital expenditure by project in County Kildare for the period January 2011 to end June 2015.
If you have not received a reply from the HSE within 15 working days please contact my Private Office who will follow up.
