I propose to take Questions Nos. 377 and 378 together.
Health capital funding was outlined in the recently published Public Service Estimates for 2018 and the HSE is currently developing its Capital Plan for 2018-2021.
The Government is preparing a new National Development Plan for the period 2018-2027, which is expected to be published alongside and in support of the forthcoming new National Planning Framework, to sustain national economic and social progress over the long term.
As the Deputy knows, my priority is increasing capacity to improve access and I will shortly bring the capacity report to Government to feed into this process.
My Department has also referred your questions to the Health Service Executive and requested the HSE to reply directly to you in relation to capital developments at Naas Hospital.
