Since its establishment in 2005, the Health Service Executive has had responsibility for public health sector capital developments other than those projects undertaken by my Department, by the Office of the Minister for Children and by the health agencies that are directly funded by my Department. Accordingly, my Department has requested the Parliamentary Affairs Division of the Executive to arrange to have the details requested in relation to those projects for which the Executive has responsibility, issued directly to the Deputy.

My Department is collating the requested details in relation to the remaining capital projects and will reply directly to the Deputy.
