View answerThe development of new Primary Care Centres (PCCs) is 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 available update from the Health Service Executive advises that there are currently 142 operational PCCs ?nationwide, with a further 30 PCCs scheduled to open before the end of 2023.
Those PCCs currently operational in Co. Kildare are listed below. In addition, two further locations in Leixlip and Maynooth are currently at a very early stage in the development process.
