Vol. 526 No. 5

Written Answers. - Hospitals Building Programme.

Paul McGrath

Ceist:

74 Mr. McGrath asked the Minister for Health and Children if a commitment has been given by him that the ICU/CCU, child and adolescent psychiatry unit, and rehabilitation unit will now be added to the brief for the design team for Longford/Westmeath General Hospital; the time scale for the appointment of this design team; and the time scale for the completion of this phase of the 2B hospital project. [27113/00]

The Longford-Westmeath General Hospital Phase 2B capital development brief has been received from the Midland Health Board by my Department within the last week.

I can confirm to the Deputy that the ICU/CCU, child and adolescent psychiatry unit, and rehabilitation unit along with other proposed areas for development are contained in the brief. Officials from my Department are currently examining the full brief as a matter of urgency and a decision will be made on the matter in the near future.
