The Government recently outlined how the additional €99m necessary this year for the timely provision of the new children’s hospital will be accommodated. The Government decided that €24m of this additional funding required in 2019 is to be provided from the health capital allocation.

The Health Service Executive is currently developing its Capital Plan for 2019.

Once the HSE has finalised its Capital Plan for 2019, it will then be submitted to me for consideration.
