Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

Update on Neurorehabilitation Healthcare, Primary Care Centre Programme and CAMHS: HSE

Mr. Brian O'Connell:

Yes. We are still working off the bones of the 2012 list. What may have happened is that a larger number were originally identified. They are currently being progressed. That is down to the overall movement from back in 2012 whereby they have consolidated a number of centres together where it makes sense. One might pick slightly bigger centres and maybe utilise satellites from that in some of the areas. To give an example, Ballyjamesduff would have been on it. It is now getting consolidated into a bigger centre in Virginia. That is the sort of approach we have very much targeted under the PPP model. Then on the capital plan we have targeted them in those areas of higher deprivation that would have got prioritised as one of the matrix. They would have been prioritised and the first call on the capital list would have worked from that prioritisation downwards.

To put a little bit of colour on the Finglas centre, permission was refused. We had a scheme developed-----
