Approval has been recently received for HSE capital expenditure in 2012. HSE will shortly publish details of the 2012-2016 Capital Plan on its website.

In relation to future developments, the HSE is required to prioritise capital infrastructure projects within its overall capital funding allocation taking into account the existing capital commitments and costs to completion over the period. Work on the draft Capital Plan for the next multi-annual period 2013-2017 will begin shortly and will be submitted to my Department in due course. My Department will then review the proposals and follow up with the HSE where further details may be required. The draft Capital Plan 2013-2017 will then require my approval with the consent of the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform.
