Mr. Tony Canavan:

I cannot say it will be lodged this year. I can say that right now we have completed the strategic assessment review and the preliminary business case has also been completed in respect of the emergency department and the women and children's block. We expect it will go to the HSE board this month and thereafter it will have to go to the Cabinet for a decision to move forward. That development will bring some additional 40 beds. As I said, we are looking interim bed development on the site as well because we are conscious there are a number of hurdles to be crossed in that and other long-term developments on the site. We must have some bed capacity in the mean time.
