Mary Butler (Waterford, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

I thank the Deputy for his question. He continues to raise the challenges they have in University Hospital Limerick with overcrowding. On the surgical hubs, five were announced at the very same time, including one for University Hospital Waterford. There is a total of €100 million for five surgical hubs, which will have a huge impact when they are up and running. My understanding is that the majority of these will be modular build but I will get a detailed response from the office of the Minister, Deputy Stephen Donnelly, and pass it on to the Deputy.
