The Joint Committee on Infrastructure and National Development Plan Delivery will convene on Wednesday to examine the Department of Health's progress on its strategic blueprint spanning from 2026 to 2030. Committee Cathaoirleach Deputy Sean Fleming stated that members intend to scrutinise how a multi-billion euro capital allocation has been utilised for buildings and essential medical equipment over recent years.
