I understand the board is reviewing its priorities for capital development projects under the indicative funding notified to it by the Department under the National Development Plan 2000-2006. Having regard to the high priority which the board attaches to the development of the new dialysis unit at the hospital it is to be hoped the project will proceed at an early date. The Government will continue to invest in the development of high quality, equitable and accessible hospital services, including dialysis services, in order that those availing of services continue to receive timely and appropriate care.
