Mr. Liam Woods:

I did not mean to suggest that there would be work done now. The estates function of the HSE, as the Deputy correctly suggests, is aware of the state of the capital infrastructure of the HSE. There is already knowledge about that. All I was referring to was that the estates function is not represented here today. However, there is such an assessment so it is not the case that the HSE needs to go out to understand it. On the wider issue of end-of-life care and the condition of mortuaries, of course there is an alertness to the issue, but that is already determined at the level of capital planning, as one might expect it to be.
