I propose to take Questions Nos. 593, 594, 596, 597 and 681 together.
In 2007 and 2008 the HSE published lists of locations for which the Executive was seeking accommodation. These lists were published in the print media and are, therefore, in the public domain. The locations were not published in any particular order. Those locations were approved by the Board of the HSE. Arrangement is being made for copies of the adverts to issue separately to the Deputy.
The prioritisation exercise is a dynamic process and evolves, taking account of changing circumstances including the feasibility of implementing the delivery of the centres by the three means i.e. lease, HSE build, and PPP.
It is envisaged that approximately 20 of the 35 potential locations published as part of the Government’s Infrastructure Stimulus Package will be progressed by way of PPP. Some locations will not, therefore, be included in the first phase of the PPP stimulus package and may be progressed by other means. There is nothing to preclude the development of some locations by way of lease (provided by the private sector).
