I am aware that discussions are taking place between the Eastern Health Board and the St. Francis Xavier Social Centre Committee about this matter. The board would view the establishment of a day care centre as a useful addition to the existing range of community services in the area, and, subject to agreement on the detailed arrangements, the board will give a high priority to the proposed project in the allocation of the resources which may be available to it in 1981.
