Leo Varadkar (FG), Dublin West

I thank Deputy Burke for raising the Cork elective hospital again. It is an issue he has been campaigning on for quite some time. The Government has identified St. Stephen's Hospital as the preferred site for the new elective hospital for Cork. It is now in planning phase and developing detailed project briefs, a procurement strategy and pre-tender business case for all the elective hospitals. I am advised the appointment of an integrated design team is under way at present and will be in place in early 2024.
