The HSE's Palliative Care Services Three Year Development Framework informs the development of adult palliative care services in Ireland, both generalist and specialist, for the period 2017-2019. The Framework identifies a need for a 16-bed unit for Cavan and Monaghan, which is currently in the planning stage of development. My Department is continuing to engage with the HSE and local hospice movements to work towards this objective.
