I would refer the Deputy to the reply given to a somewhat similar question by Deputy Kyne on 11th May last.
I have asked local authorities for more up-to-date information, including their programmes for major repairs, renovations and for replacements in the coming financial year. This information will not be available until all health authorities have finally settled their estimates. If the Deputy will repeat his Question early in April, I hope to be in a position to inform him fully as to the up-to-date position.
The number of dispensary and dispensary depot premises is just over 1,000.
