Grace Boland (Dublin Fingal West, Fine Gael)

I do not have any hospital to ask the witnesses about. I would like to say that the area I live in is one of the youngest in the country. Balbriggan is the youngest large town. It is the most culturally diverse town. Our primary care centre and CDNT are chronically understaffed, which has been a persistent issue for a long time. The waiting lists are from four to seven years. There are some children who are now in sixth class who never got therapies and have been on the list since before they entered primary school. I urge the HSE to please staff this primary care centre. Both Balbriggan and Swords have the longest waiting lists in the country.
