Mr. Derek Tierney:

The Deputy asked about that and we will get a note anyway through the Chair, but I will give an update on what we have completed and what is under way in terms of construction, and what we have in our design pipeline. We have upgraded and extended the oncology day ward with a rooftop vertical expansion. This has provided 14 day-treatment cubicles, two day-treatment isolation rooms and seven outpatient consulting rooms, including an aseptic compounding unit. That is constructed and operational.

We also have a relocation of the women's health unit from University Hospital Kerry to John Joe Sheehy Road in Tralee. This is under construction. It is a commercial acquisition and fit out. We are also upgrading the MV and LV infrastructure in the Kerry hospital.

On beds specifically, we have nine bed refurbishment projects under way, and we have a detailed design under way for a single-storey vertical extension incorporating 30 new beds.
