With regard to the provision of health centres generally, the position is that the identification, prioritisation and provision of such facilities to meet the needs of local communities within its functional area, is a matter for the relevant health board or the Eastern Regional Health Authority (ERHA). In the case of Millbrook Lawns Health Centre, Tallaght, Dublin 24, this responsibility rests with the ERHA.
The ERHA has indicated that the refurbishment of this health centre would constitute a regional priority. The ERHA has recently submitted proposals to my Department in relation to the funding of a number of priority projects, including Millbrook Lawns health centre and these proposals are currently being examined by my Department.
