View answerThe Sláintecare Implementation Strategy & Action Plan highlights the development of new Primary Care Centres (PCCs) as a key component of the efforts to enhance community care, and to deliver care in a location at, or as near as possible to an individual’s home, where it is safe and clinically appropriate to do so.
The most recent update from the Health Service Executive advises that there are currently 142 operational PCCs, and a further 30 PCCs are scheduled to open before the end of 2023. Of these, four are in County Cork and will be located at Bandon, Bantry, Beara (Castletown-Berehaven), and Cobh. In addition to these, five further County Cork PCC locations are at the early planning stage.
The locations of operational and planned PCCs in County Cork are listed below.
