Amharc ar fhreagraCapital investment plays a critical role in enabling and enhancing health service provision, and in driving the reforms set out in Sláintecare.
The HSE Capital Plan is an annual document that sets out the planned Health infrastructure investment within a given year. The number and cost of projects eligible for inclusion in the annual Capital Plan invariably exceeds the funding available. It is necessary for the HSE to conduct a prioritisation exercise to determine which capital projects can be funded in any given year.
The HSE Capital Plan 2026 will provide details of capital investment in public healthcare facilities in County Kildare for 2026.
The HSE Capital Plan 2026 is currently under review and will be published in line with established procedures, subject to approval by the Minister for Health in accordance with the Health Act 2004.
