I have recently received the 2006 Health Service Executive capital plan from the executive. The proposed development at St. Vincent's, Dungarvan, is in the plan and I will revert to the executive as soon as possible on the plan submitted.

My Department does not provide funding to the HSE for its capital programme; that is provided by the Exchequer following decisions by Government on the appropriate Estimates for the executive. The Deputy will appreciate that I cannot comment on individual elements of the plan at this stage.
