Mr. Jim Curran:

Our focus under the capital plan has been on higher-priority projects where commercial entities have shown an interest in developing primary care. We have also focused on developing our own facilities, extending existing health centres to provide additional accommodation for primary care and upgrading or remodelling some of our existing facilities, including old mental health institutions and hospitals. For instance, we are developing a primary care unit at the St. Davnet's campus in Monaghan. We hope to do something similar in Portlaoise. We have enhanced an old community nursing unit in Loughrea to provide primary care there. We have provided new PCCs in Inchicore and Ballyfermot from our capital plan. We will deliver centres in Finglas and Rowlagh from the capital plan as well. When we pursue the operational lease method, we get the benefit of commercial interest in providing primary care, including the capacity to leverage off PCCs for other commercial developments associated with health, including pharmacies. Other private consultancy suites often come into these facilities. All of these developments enhance the delivery of primary care.
