The Minister for Health, along with Department and Health Service Executive (HSE) officials, recently met with representatives of An Saol Project, at which they outlined their ideas for the project. I understand that the HSE will consider the proposal in the context of the ongoing estimates/budgetary process and the resources made available for the National Service Plan for 2017.

I have referred the Deputy's question to the HSE for a more detailed reply on the matter.
