201. Deputy James Lawless asked the Minister for Health to detail the planned upgrades to Naas General Hospital, to include costings, timeframes for commencement of works and completion dates for works, working currently underway and timeframes for completion; the overall budget allocated for the planned works; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

View answerAs the Health Service Executive is responsible for the delivery of public healthcare infrastructure projects, I have asked the HSE to respond to you directly in relation to this matter.
As the Deputy may be aware, management and administrative grade staff in the Fórsa union in the HSE commenced industrial action on Friday 6th October. As a consequence of this industrial action, members in these grades are not engaging with political forums or processes. As a result, the question asked by the Deputy may be delayed in receiving a response directly from the HSE.
