The capital plan for 2019 will be developed by the Health Service Executive, in conjunction with the Department over the coming months.
The capital funding for the public health services in the ten years of the National Development Plan 2018 to 2027 is €10.9 billion. This funding will provide a real, long-term opportunity to improve our health services, drive down waiting lists, increase bed capacity, reform pathways of care and modernise how we deliver services through eHealth and the implementation of Sláintecare.
The National Development Plan outlines capital funding for the Health sector for the next five years (2018 to 2022).

The variance on health capital spend to the end of June 2018 is due to timing of invoices and payments and is less than 5% under the anticipated drawdown profile. Health capital expenditure is expected to progress steadily for the rest of the year and is being monitored in line with monthly profiles and the total annual capital allocation for 2018.
