The Health Service Executive is required to prioritise infrastructure projects within its overall capital envelope taking into account the existing capital commitments and costs of completion over the period. The proposed Capital Plan 2012-2016 requires my approval with the consent of the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform. I have approved the Capital Plan 2012-2016 and the consent of the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform is being sought. Details of the plan will be published by the HSE following its approval.
