Responsibility for the provision of health services in the Wexford area rests with the South Eastern Health Board. My Department has provided funding to the board under the national development plan for a number of projects at the New Haughton Hospital including the upgrading of the kitchen, the provision of lighting to the entrance, the rewiring of the hospital and upgrading of the first floor.
The board identified the need to replace the existing lift at the hospital as one of its priorities for capital funding. My Department will continue to liaise with the board on this project and in line with the board's priorities for capital investment and having regard to resources available to my Department under the capital investment framework 2004-2008.
