"The investments set out in the 2026 HSE Capital plan show our commitment to improving Donegal’s health service facilities and ensuring better access to care for our patients. Investing in our health service is important as our population grows, with many people living longer, healthier lives.

“I am pleased to see the cross-party advocacy by Donegal’s TD’s and Senators has been reflected in the funding plan for Donegal. Securing funding for a Letterkenny Surgical Hub will transform healthcare access across the County and improve outcomes immensely."

Commenting on the publication of the HSE Capital Plan, Minister Carroll MacNeill said: “I’m pleased to approve the publication of the HSE Capital Plan for 2026. By increasing capacity and developing the necessary infrastructure we will enable greater provision of care in our hospitals and in our communities, we are advancing the Sláintecare vision to provide the right care, in the right place, at the right time.”
