4010. Deputy Barry Heneghan asked the Minister for Health the estimated timeline for completion of the detailed design stage of the new emergency department at Beaumont Hospital; when the construction tender is expected to commence; whether any risks to the project timeline have been identified; and if she will make a statement on the matter.

4011. Deputy Barry Heneghan asked the Minister for Health whether the redevelopment of the emergency department and the proposed 95-bed ward block at Beaumont Hospital remain prioritised within the HSE Capital Plan; the funding allocated to each project to date; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [58566/26]

I propose to take Questions Nos. 4010 and 4011 together.

The Health Service Executive (HSE) is responsible for the delivery of public healthcare infrastructure projects, and all of the proposals at Beaumont Hospital are being managed through the HSE capital development process in line with the Infrastructure Guidelines from the Department of Public Expenditure, Infrastructure, Public Service Reform and Digitalisation. As such, I have asked the HSE to respond to you directly in relation to this matter.
