The Health Service Executive's Capital Plan 2011-2015, published on its website, provides details on the endoscopy suite and upgrade to the HSSD facilities at Roscommon County Hospital. It is estimated that the project will be completed in 2012.

Following the publication of the 'Infrastructure and Capital Investment 2012-2016: Medium Term Exchequer Framework', the Health Service Executive will commence drawing up its capital programme for the multi-annual period 2012-2016. The Executive is required to prioritise the capital infrastructure projects within its overall capital funding allocation taking into account the existing capital commitments and costs to completion over the period. The proposed plan requires my approval with the consent of the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform.
