Vol. 394 No. 8
90 Mr. M. Higgins asked the Minister for Health if, in view of the substantial reduction in the capital allocation for his Department, he will outline his plans to provide additional facilities requiring capital expenditure in the area of services for handicapped persons, community welfare, psychiatric services and community health services; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
The health capital programme for 1990 is currently being reviewed in my Department, taking into account the level of funding available, the existing set of contractual and other commitments and the extent to which it may be possible to accommodate additional projects in the service areas mentioned by the Deputy. Pending the outcome of this review, I cannot give a definitive list of the projects that will be included in the capital programme.
