Leo Varadkar (Dublin West, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I thank Deputy McLoughlin for raising this important issue. As he will be aware, the capital budget for health increased this year and will increase again next year. In excess of €10 billion has been set aside for investment in new buildings, new equipment and ICT in our health service over the next ten years. As is always the case, it is not possible to complete every project this year or next so it will have to be profiled. I will ask the Minister for Health to give the Deputy an indicative timeline if he has one.
