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, overall capital funding of approximately €594m has been provided to the Health Service Executive. The HSE has confirmed that the project in question will deliver an additional 64 beds and is being developed in two phases at a total cost of €16.6m. Phase 1, comprising 32 additional beds, was completed earlier this year and is now operational. The second phase is currently under construction and due for completion by mid-2009.
