In drawing up its capital programme, the Health Service Executive is required to prioritise the capital infrastructure projects to be progressed within its overall capital funding allocation under the National Development Plan, taking account of the NDP targets for division of capital investment between the Acute and Primary, Community & Continuing Care programmes.
The Executive has submitted a draft capital plan which sets out its proposed short and long term priorities in the context of funding notified as part of Budget 2009 and changes in construction costs. Consultation on the draft capital plan is ongoing between the HSE and my Department. The HSE is currently engaged in providing additional clarification on its proposed capital developments. Details on individual projects will not be known until such time as the capital plan for 2009 is approved.
