Mr. O'Malley
I am aware that the Rathmore dispensary in the Coom dispensary district is in a very poor state of repair.
However, in view of the proposed general medical service with choice of doctor, under which dispensary premises will no longer be generally required, and of the bad state of repair of this dispensary, the health authority do not propose to carry out repairs to the premises but hope to make suitable alternative dispensary accommodation available at Rathmore shortly.
