As with all capital projects the further development of the CNU programme and day care facilities for older people, including those in counties Louth and Meath, must be considered within the context of the overall capital envelope available to the health service. The HSE is concentrating on applying the limited funding available for capital works in the most effective way possible to meet residential need now and in the future.

Your question, in relation to capital investment for the Older People care group in counties Louth and Meath for the multi-annual period 2015-2019, has been referred to the HSE for direct reply. If you have not received a reply from the HSE within 15 working days please contact my Private Office who will follow up.

As this is a service matter it has been referred to the Health Service Executive for direct reply. If you have not received a reply from the HSE within 15 working days please contact my Private Office and they will follow up the matter with them.
