Question:

1297. Deputy Fergus O'Dowd asked the Minister for Health if he will seek an update from within the HSE in respect of the need to provide a state of the art new primary care centre in Dunleer, County Louth given the significant population increase in the area; the details of premises in the area that would be suitable for the project that are already in HSE ownership; the projected cost of such an addition; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Minister for Health

As the Health Service Executive (HSE) holds responsibility for the provision, along with the maintenance and operation of Primary Care Centres, I have asked the HSE to respond directly to the Deputy as soon as possible.
