The estimated capital costs of the new surgical hubs will consist of a range of costs and this varies depending on whether they relate to acquisition and refurbishment of existing premises, green field or brown field development and fit out. The estimated annual running costs of each of the six surgical hubs once fully operational will be approximately €15 million.
I have also asked the HSE, which has day-to-day responsibility for the development of the new surgical hubs, and who are finalising their engagement with the market to progress these, to respond to you directly in relation to the matters raised.
