Dara Calleary

Question:

768. Deputy Dara Calleary asked the Minister for Health his plans to upgrade the Westdoc Base at St. Joseph's District Hospital, Ballina, County Mayo [5148/13]

Written answers

Minister of State at the Department of Health

90% of the population have access to GP out-of-hours services in 14 centres nationally, including Westdoc. As the specific issue raised by the Deputy is a service matter, I have asked the HSE to respond to the Deputy directly as soon as possible.
