178. Deputy Jim O'Callaghan asked the Minister for Health the estimated cost of each of the elective hospitals that has been proposed. [43305/24]
View answerPreliminary Costings for the new elective hospitals in Cork in Galway are set out in the Preliminary Business Cases for same and can be found at the following website: www.gov.ie/en/publication/cafdc-elective-hospitals/#preliminary-business-cases
It should be noted that these costings are initial estimates and these will be refined in light of the appointment of the Architect-led Integrated Design Team and Project Controls Team later this month and through the design phase and development of pre-tender documents. Following the identification of Connolly Hospital, Blanchardstown, and the current Children’s Hospital at Crumlin as the preferred locations for elective hospitals in Dublin, Preliminary Business Cases are now being progressed and will be brought to Government for consideration in due course.
