Funding has been made available in the current Capital Plan to bring these projects to the design and planning stage. The Renal Dialysis Unit has attained planning permission and is currently at tender stage. The expansion of the Intensive Care Unit is currently at design stage.

My Department is working with the Health Service Executive and the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform to conduct a mid-term review of the capital programme. Further funding for these projects must be considered in the context of the future capital envelope available to the health service and the overall priorities for future service development in the Dublin Midlands Hospital Group. The HSE will continue to apply the available funding for infrastructure development in the most effective way possible to meet current and future needs, having regard to the level of commitments and the costs to completion already in place.
