Question 286: To ask the Tánaiste and Minister for Health and Children the reason she has not approved the phase 3C development of Naas General Hospital, which is included in the 2006 capital plan approved by Health Service Executive management team and board. [11064/06]

The Deputy's question relates to the management and delivery of health and personal social services, which are the responsibility of the Health Service Executive under the Health Act 2004. The progression of phase 3C at Naas General Hospital is included in the proposed Health Service Executive capital plan for 2006, which is being considered by my Department in conjunction with the Department of Finance. I expect to be in a position shortly to revert to the Health Service Executive in relation to agreement on the plan overall, including a decision in relation to this particular project.
