- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Quarterly Meeting on Health Issues: Discussion (2 Oct 2019)
Jim Daly: I thank the Deputy for her continued support for Bantry. She has been very consistent on it and that is much appreciated.

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Quarterly Meeting on Health Issues: Discussion (2 Oct 2019)
Jim Daly: Unfortunately, I cannot comment on the budget which is above my pay grade. It will be a matter for the Minister for Finance, Deputy Donohoe, next Tuesday.

That is very frustrating for all of us. There...

Jim Daly: I thank Deputy Cullinane for the query. As he is aware, the cost to build the facility was €31.6 million and the annual running cost is €5 million. We will consider whether it is possible to include the centre in the upcoming Estimates. The HSE has provided €300,000 this year to try to prepare the building to be opened. The Minister for Health will meet Deputy...

Jim Daly: The situation is the same as the last time I answered this question for the Deputy. The current arrangement is that a consultant prescribes it as necessary for a patient and the Minister can sign a licence. We are a long way from the position the Deputy seeks where it will be widely available. Work is continuing in the Department on it, but that situation is some time away.
