Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

National Children's Hospital: Discussion (Resumed)

Mr. Colm Desmond:

As I mentioned in my opening statement, at this time we are actively taking stock on foot of the decision in December to continue with contractually committed projects and work out what will be the final capital plan for 2019 for the HSE. We have the overall envelope plus the additional funding decided by the Government. Other projects, such as that mentioned by the Deputy, are at various stages and they will continue, subject to us ensuring we can accommodate all of the costs within the overall capital envelope we will finally have this year. That process is very active at present and we hope to bring it to a conclusion as quickly as we can.
