139. Deputy Fergus O'Dowd asked the Minister for Health to outline all capital funding provided by his Department to the Lourdes Hospital and to Louth County Hospital since 2020; the increase in employment in both hospitals and the additional services provided in each location since 2020; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [45412/24]

As this is a service matter, I have asked the Health Service Executive to respond to the deputy directly, as soon as possible.
