I propose to take Questions Nos. 233 and 261 together.
The planning stages of the proposed 40 bed nursing unit and day hospital at Killybegs, County Donegal, have recently been completed. I will consider the progression of this project to allow for invitation of tenders by the North-Western Health Board as soon as the position regarding overall capital funding available to my Department in 1998 is finalised.
