(Limerick West) asked the Minister for Health when the Mid-Western Health Board can advertise for tenders for the new theatre suite at the Regional Orthopaedic Hospital, Croom, County Limerick.

I am not in a position to indicate when the Mid-Western Health Board can advertise for tenders for the new theatre suite at the Regional Orthopaedic Hospital in Croom. A decision in regard to this will depend on the availability of capital resource.
