The Health Service Executive is responsible for the delivery of public healthcare services and infrastructure projects. The HSE has advised that an application for the extension of the planning permission in respect of Drimnagh Primary Care Centre has been lodged with Dublin City Council and the outcome is awaited.

It is important to recognise that all capital development proposals must progress through a number of approval stages, in line with the Public Spending Code, including detailed appraisal, planning, design and procurement, before a firm timeline or funding requirement can be established.
