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

I am familiar with CUH but not ward 2D. I know some people who have been treated recently for leukaemia between CUH and St. James’s Hospital and they are very complimentary of the quality of healthcare and the competence of the staff there. I appreciate the infrastructure is very much out of date and, sadly, that is the case for many of our hospitals. In regard to the particular capital project that the Deputy mentioned, I will have to speak to the Minister, Deputy Donnelly, about it but we are keen to get as many new capital projects under construction next year as possible.
