Questions (303)

Gerry Adams

Question:

303. Deputy Gerry Adams asked the Minister for Health further to Parliamentary Question No. 170 of 23 January 2019 and the omission of Dundalk primary care centre from the reply, which appears to conflict with information contained in Parliamentary Question No. 1817 of 24 July 2018, the status of the delivery of the Dundalk primary care centre; when the centre will be operational; the services that will be located within the centre; if space will be allocated to community mental health; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Written answers

Minister for Health

I appreciate the concerns raised by the Deputy on the proposed Dundalk Primary Care Centre. As the HSE has responsibility for the provision of Primary Care Centres, and has provided the previous information on the proposed centre, I have asked the Executive to reply directly to the Deputy.
