Vol. 552 No. 1

Written Answers. - Primary Care Development.

Róisín Shortall

Ceist:

398 Ms Shortall asked the Minister for Health and Children the allocation to the primary care development fund for general practitioners in each of the years 1998-2002; and the breakdown of these figures in each of the ten health boards. [11913/02]

There was no capital funding allocated to health boards in respect of general practice development in the years 2001 and 2002. Since 2001 all capital moneys are allocated via national development plan funding and applications under this heading must be included in the boards' service plans, which are submitted annually to my Department. In the case of the previous year's details they are as per the following table:
