Vol. 404 No. 9
195 Mr. Ferris asked the Minister for Health if his Department have received proposals from the Mid-Western Health Board to provide a new health centre in Shannon, County Clare; and if he will make a capital provision to allow building to start in 1991.
My Department recently gave approval to the Mid-Western Health Board for the acceptance of tenders for the construction of a new health centre in Shannon, County Clare. However, I understand that the building contractor involved has now withdrawn his tender and I am awaiting a proposal from the board recommending alternative arrangements for the execution of the work.
I fully accept the need for this health centre development.
Funding for the project is included in the Department's capital programme for 1991.
