Amharc ar fhreagraThe new unit at St John's Hospital, Enniscorthy is included in my Department's capital programme for 2004. It is anticipated that building will commence within the next two months. This significant capital project, which will cost in the region of €17 million highlights the Government's strong commitment to develop its services for older persons in the south eastern region. My Department will continue to liaise closely with the South Eastern Health Board in relation to progressing this development.
