Health capital funding was outlined in the Public Service Estimates for 2018. The Health Service Executive's Capital Plan for 2018-2021 is currently the subject of discussion with my Department.

Appendix 4 of the HSE’s National Service Plan 2018 outlines capital projects that:

1. were completed in 2016/2017 and will be operational in 2018;

2. are due to be completed and operational in 2018;

3. are due to be completed in 2018 and will be operational in 2019.

The Government is preparing a new National Development Plan for the period 2018-2027, which will be published alongside and in support of the forthcoming new National Planning Framework for Ireland.
