The Government's sustained high level of investment in healthcare under the National Development Plan 2000-2006 enabled the completion and commissioning last year of several new facilities in both the Acute Hospitals and the Primary, Community and Continuing Care sectors.
The HSE Capital Plan 2006 contained a wide range of capital projects. A significant proportion of the Executive's capital programme is composed of projects that are multi-annual in nature and were intended to be commenced or progressed through various stages of procurement in 2006.
The provisional outturn for 2006 shows that the total capital spending by the HSE in 2006 amounted to just over €450 million.
