Minister for Health

The Health Service Executive is currently developing its Capital Plan for 2019. My Department and the HSE are in discussion in respect to capital funding in 2019 and subsequent years as part of a process of engagement to finalise the HSE Capital Plan for 2019.

Once the HSE has finalised its Capital Plan for 2019, it will then be submitted to me for approval with the consent of the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform.
