Health capital funding was outlined in the recently published Public Service Estimates for 2018 and the HSE is currently developing its Capital Plan for 2018-2021.

The Government is preparing a new National Development Plan for the period 2018-2027, which is expected to be published alongside and in support of the forthcoming new National Planning Framework, to sustain national economic and social progress over the long term.

My Department has also referred your question to the Health Service Executive and requested the HSE to reply directly to you in relation to capital developments at Naas Hospital.
