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. This includes responsibility for considering new capital proposals or progressing those in the health capital programme. Accordingly, the Department has requested the parliamentary affairs division of the executive to have this matter investigated and to issue a reply directly to the Deputy.
