Written Answers. - Community Nursing Units.
The provision of health services in County Kerry in the first instance is a matter for the Southern Health Board. The Southern Health Board has advised that it has provided for a community nursing unit in Tralee as one of the projects it wishes to develop under the National Development Plan 2001-2006. A project team has been appointed by the board and it will be a matter for that project team to propose a timetable which has regard to the various project management and planning issues of such developments.
