Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 14 February 2017
405. Deputy Joan Burton asked the Minister for Health the reason funding has not been provided for the endoscopy unit, new physical medicine, physical therapy, oncology services and day procedure departments at Naas General Hospital; when funding will be provided; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [6862/17]
View answerFunding for the endoscopy unit, new physical medicine, physical therapy, oncology services and day procedure departments at Naas General Hospital will be considered in the context of the future capital envelope for the health service and the overall priorities for future service development in the Dublin Midlands Hospital Group. It is proposed that there will be a mid-term review of the State’s capital envelope, which will assess progress, review emerging pressures and demands. It is expected that this mid-term review will be completed in 2017.
