The current capital envelope runs to 2016. Negotiations are under way for the next capital envelope, which will run from 2016 to 2020. Needless to say, a major part of our ask in health is a significant increase in the capital budget for long-term care. A total of 14 priority locations have been identified and they are being progressed through planning to shovel-ready status. I will give the committee a flavour of the list. There are 100 additional beds in Dublin north in St. Ita's, 80 replacement beds in Donegal south, 100 additional beds in Grangegorman for north Dublin, 100 replacement beds for Dublin south, Kildare, west Wicklow and Tallaght, 100 additional beds in Cork city south, 100 replacement beds in Limerick, 50 additional plus 50 replacement beds in Dublin north west at Blanchardstown, 100 replacement beds in east Wicklow, 100 replacement beds at St. Vincent's in Athy, 100 additional beds in Cork city south, 50 additional and 50 replacement beds in south Kerry and 100 replacement beds in west Donegal. This is all being progressed through planning to shovel-ready status. We hope to get the capital for it and to get the diggers in next year.
