Jennifer Carroll MacNeill (FG), Dún Laoghaire

As the Deputy is aware, this year's capital plan includes an upgrade and extension to the oncology day ward at University Hospital Kerry, with a vertical extension over the existing palliative care ward. The scope includes 14 day treatment cubicles, two treatment isolation rooms and seven outpatient consultation rooms. That is really important. In addition to that, we are shifting the way in which financing is determined this year to try to achieve better regional equity of access and better equity across the regions in terms of treatment times. We are specifically making a shift in how money is allocated and the way in which the letter of determination works.
