Amharc ar fhreagraThe information sought by the Deputy is collated by the HSE on an Integrated Service Area (ISA) basis and is set out in the attached tables. The HSE had identified a need for 518 Primary Care Teams (PCTs) by the end of 2012. This number has now been reduced to 485 PCTs, following realignment of team boundaries in some HSE areas.
