I have consistently emphasised the need to improve facilities and services to persons with cystic fibrosis. Capital funding has been provided for the development of outpatient facilities for patients with CF treated at Beaumont Hospital. HSE funding enabled the construction of a three storey building consisting of two floors each of 14 single rooms, and 8 bed HDU and two additional ICU rooms (within existing ICU). The project is in two phases and the first phase (decanting) was completed at the end of 2009 and the second phase is currently underway. The Deputy's question has been referred to the HSE for direct reply in relation to the current position concerning the specific service issues raised.
