Any proposals for the traffic calming measures and signage in question must be considered in the context of the capital funding available to Health.

Given the limited funding available and our health infrastructure including equipment needs, priority for funding must be based on verified service needs and capital funding must be directed to supporting these core services. 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.

Your question has been referred to the Health Service Executive for direct reply as the management of the healthcare property estate is a service matter.
