Vol. 521 No. 1
189 Mr. G. Mitchell asked the Minister for Health and Children if, further to Parliamentary Question No. 166 of 1 June 1999, he will report on the progress made in this regard (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter. [16453/00]
The provision and maintenance of health centres in Dublin is a matter for the Eastern Regional Health Authority in the first instance. I have been advised by the authority that plans for the upgrading of the Cashel Road health centre have been included in the proposals from the South Western Area Health Board in relation to the national development plan. I am further advised that the planning brief has been completed and that a design team has been recommended. Discussions on the authority's proposals will take place between the ERHA and officials of my Department in the near future after which its capital programme will be finalised.
