The Health Service Executive is currently reviewing its capital programme proposals to take account of the capital allocation available to it following the supplementary budget. Information on the extent and timing of commitments already entered into is being updated as part of this review process. It is clear at this stage that expenditure in 2009 will need to be managed carefully within the available limits and that further commitments will require prioritisation within the expected funding envelope for future years. When the review is completed, the Executive is required to submit its proposed capital investment programme for my approval with the agreement of the Minister for Finance. Details of the individual projects being included in the capital plan will be made available when the plan is approved.
