Minister for Health and Children (Ms Harney)

The Health Service Executive has responsibility for capital expenditure for the hospitals in question, including funding previously undertaken by the Midland Health Board. My Department has requested the Parliamentary Affairs Division of the Executive to arrange to have the matter investigated and to have a reply issued directly to the Deputy.
