On foot of a policy direction which I issued to the Health Service Executive (HSE) last summer, the Board will shortly be inviting expressions of interest for the development of private hospital facilities on public hospital sites. As of yet, the HSE has not invited expressions of interest in respect of any of the hospital sites under its control, although it has received a number of unsolicited proposals.
