127. Deputy Niall Collins asked the Minister for Health if he held discussions with a hospital (details supplied) in respect of proposals to help build capacity at the facility into the future; the schedule being followed in respect of consideration of the matters; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [42000/17]
Amharc ar fhreagraTallaght Hospital recently provided my Department with an overview of the major capital projects that are in progress and the major capital projects that are planned at the hospital.
Future capital investment in hospitals must be considered within the overall acute hospital sector infrastructure programme, the prioritised needs of the hospital groups and within the overall capital envelope available to the health service. The HSE will continue to apply the available funding for infrastructure development in the most effective way possible to meet current and future needs, having regard to the level of commitments and the costs to completion already in place.
