Ms Oonagh Buckley:

Our own Department is going to be a bit of a pathfinder in that we are moving into a heavily retrofitted building in January or February. That is going to bring us to an A standard building, which will be great. We have pathfinder projects and will be seeking, with the assistance of the Department of Public Expenditure, National Development Plan Delivery and Reform, funding under the REPowerEU scheme for ten HSE-run hospital sites. We have a very large appetite across the public sector to do this but the difficulties have been the usual ones of planning and project management capacity. We are working actively with our colleagues in the Department of Public Expenditure, National Development Plan Delivery and Reform to ensure we have sufficient funding to drive forward on those public sector retrofits.
