The need for continued investment relates to the current deficits in the system which must be improved to achieve the changes we seek. Hundreds of millions of euro have been invested in developing infrastructure under the national development programme –€2 billion has been committed between now and 2006. Notwithstanding the significant funding of capital projects in recent years, there is still significant investment required to upgrade facilities such as the Central Mental Hospital, Our Lady's Hospital in Crumlin, radiotherapy services and a variety of other facilities, especially those providing care for older people.
