Written answers

The development of primary care is central to the Government's objective to deliver a high quality, integrated and cost effective health care system.

As with all capital projects the primary care infrastructure programme including this location must be considered within the overall capital envelope available to the health service. There will always be more projects than can be funded by the Exchequer. There is limited funding available for new projects over the period 2014-2018 given the level of commitments and the costs to completion already in place.
