Limerick East): As part of the development, in co-operation with the housing authorities, of a comprehensive health and welfare service for homeless persons the Eastern Health Board plans to upgrade its premises in Charles Street. Proposals have been prepared to upgrade the present unsatisfactory exterior of the building; renovate the premises currently utilised by the homeless persons unit and develop the remainder of the building to provide accommodation for medical, nursing, social work, chiropody and dietetic services. The question of funding for this project will be considered in the context of the board's health centre priority list and available capital finances.
