Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 29 January 2019
430. Deputy Brendan Smith asked the Minister for Health if there will be no delay in providing a new health facility at a location (details supplied) in view of the cost overruns on the construction of the national children’s hospital; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [4310/19]
View answerIt is intended that the new primary care centre in Killeshandra will be delivered by means of operational lease, rather than funded directly as part of the HSE Capital Plan. Therefore, it is not expected to be impacted by any funding requirements arising for the new children's hospital.
As the HSE has responsibility for the provision of primary care centres, I have asked the Executive to reply directly to the Deputy with an update on the status of this project for his information.
