Mr. Bernard Gloster:

I have two answers to earlier questions to read into the record if the Chairman wants me to do that before he goes to the second round of questions. I was asked about the volume of medical cards. A total of 40,033 were added this year, bringing the total number of medical cardholders in the State to 1,608,412. On GP visit cards, 75,381 were added this year bringing the total to 609,322. Regarding primary care centres, 103 primary care centres were delivered across both the lease and PPP programmes since 2013. Seven of those 103 were added this year and opened, with two more to open by the year end.
