The planning and management of future health expenditure is considered as part of the annual estimates and budgetary process which seeks to balance available funding across all service areas to achieve the best possible outcomes for the greatest number of service users and prioritise areas of greatest need. The 2018 HSE National Service Plan outlines the HSE's need to continue to pursue increased efficiency, value for money and budgetary control in delivering safe and effective healthcare services within its budget allocation.
In response to the particular query raised, I have asked the Health Service Executive to respond to you as soon as possible outlining any specific investment plans at these two hospitals.
