Prior to 2005, my Department funded the health boards for their expenditure on capital projects. Capital grants were not paid directly to individual health facilities. The South Eastern Health Board received capital grants in respect of facilities in its catchment area. Since 2005, the Health Service Executive has been responsible for expenditure on capital projects. Therefore your question has been referred to the HSE for direct reply.
