Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 16 May 2017
479. Deputy Michael Moynihan asked the Minister for Health the status of the refurbishment works at Millstreet Community Hospital, Millstreet, County Cork; if he will provide a timeline for the commencement and completion of these works; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [23251/17]
View answerSignificant work has been undertaken by the HSE in determining the most appropriate scheduling of projects, including Millstreet Community Hospital, over the multi-annual period 2016 - 2021, within the phased provision of funding, to achieve compliance and registration with HIQA. All healthcare infrastructure developments, including this development, must comply with DPER guidelines and EU directives and will require a lead-in time to complete the various stages. These stages include appraisal, project brief, design feasibility, detailed design, some of which may overlap, the review of costing estimates and finalisation of financing.
Your question on the project status has been referred to the Health Service Executive for direct reply as the delivery of the healthcare projects is a service matter.
