I propose to take Questions Nos. 220 and 221 together.

Details of the funding provided for a capital project at University Hospital Galway by my Department are attached in the following table. This funding was provided through the Health Research Board which is an agency under the aegis of my Department.

A Clinical Research Facility (CRF) provides the infrastructure, the experts, the physical space, and the support facilities, such as ICT and specialist nursing services, that are needed to carry out patient-focused research in a safe manner and in an appropriate environment.

As the HSE is responsible for the delivery of health care infrastructure projects, the Executive has been requested to reply directly to you in relation to the approved projects it has funded at University Hospital Galway from 2009 and to date in 2016.
