In addition to the endoscopy accommodation the project underway at Naas General Hospital also includes accommodation for the oncology and physical medicine departments. It is expected that the project will be offered for tender in early 2016. Its status has not changed since the HSE wrote to you on 17 December 2015.

The HSE has recently submitted its draft Capital Plan for the multi-annual period 2016-2021. This is being reviewed. It requires my approval together with the consent of the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform. When approved the HSE will publish the schedule of projects on its website.
