View answerThe Health Service Executive is responsible for the delivery of public healthcare infrastructure projects and has advised the Drimnagh Primary Care Centre will be located on the existing site at Curlew Road. Funding has been allocated to progress the appointment of a design team, and the tender process for the services of a Design Team has commenced.
Services to be provided include Older Persons Day Care Services alongside Public Health and Community Nursing, Physiotherapy, Occupational Therapy, Speech and Language Therapy, Dietetics and Counselling. These services will be integrated with the proposed on-site GP service and provide an integrated service to the public all under one roof.
The delivery of capital projects is a dynamic process and is subject to the successful completion of the various approval stages, in line with the Public Spending Code, which can impact on the timeline for delivery.
