The Government is committed to developing acute hospital services and infrastructure. University Hospital Limerick is an integral part of the University of Limerick hospital group, providing hospital services and care to the populations of Limerick, Clare and north Tipperary. The hospital provides quality patient care, delivered safely by skilled and valued staff through the best use of their available resources. This is achieved through the commitment, hard work and professionalism of all the hospital staff.

From a construction perspective, the new ward block should be ready to be operational by Monday 9 November 2020. I wish to commend all those involved on their hard work and patience in seeing the much-needed additional capacity for University Hospital Limerick come to fruition. I wish to thank Senator Conway also for his constructive approach and because I know he has raised this many times.
