453. Deputy Louise O'Reilly asked the Minister for Health the reason primary care centres (details supplied) will not be provided with additional new staff hires; the way in which these centres will now be staffed; if staff will be drawn from the surrounding area; if so, if this will reduce services beyond the remit of the primary care centre; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Written answers

Minister for Health

As the HSE has responsibility for the provision, along with the maintenance and operation of Primary Care Centres and other Primary Care facilities, the Executive has been asked to reply directly to the Deputy.
