It is still the intention of the HSE to proceed with the development of the North East Regional Hospital and it is envisaged that most of the expenditure in this regard will occur after 2013. In the interim the focus is on reconfiguring services by moving acute and complex care from 5 to 2 hospital sites and on ensuring that services in the region are organised in a way which optimises patient safety.
