The Government's sustained high level of investment in healthcare has enabled the completion and commissioning of numerous new facilities in both the acute and the non-acute sectors. This year, the sum available for expenditure in health under the Health Service Executive's capital plan is €657 million.

The HSE has responsibility for the planning and management of capital projects in the health sector, including the development(s) referred to in the Deputy's question. My Department has requested the Parliamentary Affairs Division of the Executive to arrange to have the matter investigated and to have a reply issued directly to the Deputy.

Section 6 of the Health Act, 2004 states that the Health Service Executive is a corporate body. In view of this, the provision of health services and the internal structures of how these services are delivered is a matter for the HSE. Accordingly, my Department has requested the Parliamentary Affairs Division of the Executive to arrange to have this matter investigated. I understand they have been in contact with the Deputy on this matter.
