A new ward block to replace existing accommodation is being developed at the hospital. This facility will provide single room en-suite inpatient accommodation (100 rooms) and a dedicated day unit for people with CF, including 10 single day treatment rooms with en-suite sanitary facilities. Tenders for this development are currently under consideration. It is estimated that the construction, equipping and commissioning of this block will take approximately 18 months. The aim is to have this new facility operational as soon as possible in 2011.

The Services to which the Deputy refers is one of the Projects within the Health and Social Care Package of the EU Cross - Border Programme for Territorial Co-operation 2007-2013 (Interreg IVA Programme). The Health and Social Care Package is jointly managed by the Department of Health, Social Services and Public Safety, Northern Ireland and the Department of Health and Children. Both Departments have appointed Co-operation And Working Together (CAWT) as the Implementing Agent for the Package. The total value of the package is €30million and the total gross contribution of my Department is €12million. However, as the EU reimburses 75% of the funding, €9million of these costs will be reimbursed to the Exchequer. The total gross cost of the Urology/Vascular Services Project is approximately €9m. My Department's gross contribution to this Project is estimated at €3.6m. of which €2.7m. will be reimbursed to the Exchequer.
