Ceist:

187 Dr. Cowley asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Health and Children if she will release capital funding estimated at €400,000 required for design, to enable the long sought and top priority Ballinrobe community nursing unit to proceed on a site which has been purchased since 1985 in order to bring the project to tender stage (details supplied); when, due to the pressing nature of this unit, the necessary funding will be released; and if she will make a statement on the matter.

My Department is at present examining the health capital programme to ascertain what new projects can be progressed through either planning or construction stages, taking account of existing commitments and overall funding resources available. It is in this context that my Department will continue to liaise with the Western Health Board regarding the proposed development at Ballinrobe in the light of the board's overall capital funding priorities.
