Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 22 February 2018
147. Deputy Brendan Smith asked the Minister for Health the financial provision that has been made towards the necessary upgrading and expansion of a health facility (details supplied); if specific provision is made in the 2040 capital plan for such developments; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

View answerThe National Development Plan provides €10.9 billion for Health capital developments across the country.
As is to be expected with a ten-year plan, many proposals are at an early stage and - as with all capital development proposals - will require further appraisal, planning, design and tender before a firm timeline or funding requirement can be established.
It is important to note that the NDP does not include funding allocations for individual programmes, projects or locations.
Health capital projects and programmes currently underway will continue.
