192 Mr. Hilliard asked the Minister for Health the way in which the sum of £96.645 million was estimated in subhead I 1 of Vote 41 in the 1997 Estimates for the Public Services. [1644/97]

Limerick East): The provision of £96.645 million in Subhead I.1 of the Health Vote for 1997 will be used to fund expenditure on approved capital projects during the year. The capital programme for 1997 has not yet been finalised, so I am not in a position at this stage to give a definitive list of the projects that will be funded by this provision.
