Question 169: To ask the Tánaiste and Minister for Health and Children if the planned capital funding of €4.4 million for a day hospital facility in Beaumont Hospital remains committed to this project; the facilities which will be provided and if she will ensure that this commitment to older people is not diluted to accommodate other projects as has been recently suggested (details supplied).

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, my Department is requesting the Parliamentary Affairs Division of the Executive to arrange to have this matter investigated and to have a reply issued directly to the Deputy.
