The development of the type of facility referred to by the Deputy is, in the first instance, a matter for the appropriate health board, in this instance the Southern Health Board.
The Southern Health Board has advised me that a wide range of services and activities are planned for this centre, viz., youth club, book club, arts and crafts, bingo, pre-school playgroup, pre-school parents group, adult education, e.g. computer training, and regular clinics by the health board welfare officer and public health nurse.
I am further advised that the overall project has been funded to date as follows:
