There are no funds at my disposal from which money could be allocated for this purpose. While the Southern Health Board have approved of the development in principle they have also indicated to the interests concerned that they are not in a position at present to meet the consequential revenue costs. The health board will be reviewing the position in the context of their allocation for next year.
