This Government is committed to a sustained high level of investment in healthcare which will enable the completion and commissioning of numerous new facilities in both the acute and the primary, community and continuing care sectors.

Responsibility for the planning and management of capital projects in the health sector which include the matters referred to in the Deputy's question are a matter for the Health Services Executive under the Health Act 2004.

Accordingly, 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.
