Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
Productivity and Savings Task Force: Discussion
10:00 am
Mr. Bernard Gloster:
I certainly asked for it not to be and I will check it. To be fair to the Deputy, he has raised the issue and it is a very fair question. As to Maynooth, I certainly do not have a principle or policy position that the town should not have a primary care centre. We have struggled to get people to come into the market to take up the lease option for primary care centres because of the rate we were paying. Additionally, the costs of construction and inflation meant it was not viable for some parties. I do not think, however, there is any principle or policy position about not having a primary care centre in Maynooth.
