The only public private partnership, PPP, I have initiated in the health sector relates to the Government's plan for a national network of radiation oncology services, which I announced last July. The network will consist of four large centres in Dublin, Cork and Galway and two integrated satellite centres at Waterford Regional Hospital and Limerick Regional Hospital. The capital investment involved is of the order of €480 million, most of which is being funded through PPP. The necessary preparatory work is under way under the aegis of the National Development Finance Agency and the Health Service Executive.
