Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 18 April 2012
1269 Deputy Joe Higgins asked the Minister for Health if direct Exchequer funding will be made available for the provision of a primary healthcare centre for Corduff Dublin 15 in view of the previous commitment by the Health Service Executive to revert to the capital programme in the absence of a successful public private partnership application.

Amharc ar fhreagraFollowing the publication of the "Infrastructure and Capital Investment 2012-2016: Medium Term Exchequer Framework", the Health Service Executive commenced drawing up its capital programme for the multi-annual period 2012-2016. The Executive is required to prioritise the capital infrastructure projects within its overall capital funding allocation taking into account the existing capital commitments and costs to completion over the period. A draft capital plan for the period 2012-2016 has been submitted to my Department. My Department is reviewing the proposals and following up with the HSE where further details may be required. The proposed plan requires my approval with the consent of the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform. Details of the plan will be published by the Executive following its approval.
