Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
Delays in Accessing Scoliosis Treatment and Surgery: Discussion
Mr. Liam Woods:
Perhaps I will take that question. We have a number of proposals on Cappagh but the proposal that was referred to was the larger one. We have one with a quantum of €88 million for over 70 beds at Cappagh including ten high dependency unit, HDU, beds. That will also be considered in the capital plan for the HSE and in reality is relevant to the elective hospital discussion in which I am not directly involved myself but is moving forward. There are other and much more immediate proposals around Cappagh which were referred to. Ms Hardiman referred to one of those around Cappagh Kids which is using two more days in theatre in Cappagh. That is something that will move in the service plan this year.
