The Health Act 2004 provided for the Health Service Executive, which was established on 1 January 2005. Under the Act, the executive is required to manage and deliver, or arrange to be delivered on its behalf, health and personal social services. This includes responsibility for facilities at the Mid-Western Regional Hospital, Ennis. An outline development control plan for the hospital has been prepared and it was endorsed by the Mid-Western Health Board in December 2004. This is now a matter for consideration by the Health Service Executive in the context of the capital investment framework 2005 to 2009.
