Question:
To ask the Minister of Health to detail all (i) completed; (ii) in progress; and (iii) future capital projects funded through her Department in Fermanagh and South Tyrone in each of the last ten years.

Answer:

(i) Capital Investment is provided to HSC Trusts and the NI Fire and Rescue Service to develop and maintain the estate which is accessed by patients and clients across Northern Ireland on the basis of need and not by parliamentary constituency. Aside from minor works schemes for the maintenance and safety of the HSC estate and investment in ICT, I have provided details of capital projects in Fermanagh and South Tyrone for each of the last 10 years.

2015/16	Camera for Command Support Unit (NIFRS) based at Irvinestown
2014/15	Modular Ambulance Station at former Erne Hospital site
	South Tyrone Hospital - new CT scanner
	South Tyrone Hospital - infrastructure of the main hospital building including refurbishment work to upgrade the external façade of the main tower block
2013/14	Detection Identification & Monitoring (DIM) equipment for NIFRS
2011/12	The South West Acute Hospital was completed in 2012 and has an estimated capital value of £274m. This facility was procured through PFI. South Tyrone Hospital – new decontamination facility, and refurbishment of Admissions Ward
2006/07	South Tyrone Hospital - New respite care unit for adults with a learning disability

(ii) Currently there is one project in progress, the replacement Ambulance Station in Enniskillen and one proposal for use of Financial Transactions Capital through the GP Loans Scheme for the Enniskillen Health and Care Centre.

(iii) Future capital investment projects will be considered by my Department and the Executive as part of Budget 2017 which will conclude in the autumn.
