Since the announcement in 2016 of the 5 year Capital Investment Programme for Community Nursing Units and following discussions with public representatives, Health Forum members and local community groups, local HSE management agreed to review overall requirements for the East Donegal area. The review also included an assessment of the adequacy of the existing facilities.  I understand that a report was submitted to the HSE National Social Care Division and the HSE National Capital Property Steering Group for their consideration. On that basis, I have referred the question to the HSE for direct reply to the Deputy.

In relation to the particular query raised, as this is a service matter, I have asked the HSE to respond to the Deputy directly.
