There will always be more projects than can be funded by the Exchequer. As with all capital projects, the further development of the health care infrastructure, including ambulance bases at Enniscorthy and Gorey must be considered and prioritised within the context of the overall capital envelope available to the health service. The HSE will continue to apply the available funding for infrastructure development in the most effective way possible to meet current and future needs.
As the Health Service Executive is responsible for the delivery of the healthcare infrastructure projects the Executive has been requested to reply directly to you on the matter. If you have not received a reply from the HSE within 15 working days please contact my Private Office who will follow up.
