I thank the Minister of State for the response. When does she expect the Edenmore centre to come on stream? She mentioned construction for the Coolock-Darndale centre specifically being delivered in early 2017, but what is the status of the Edenmore centre? What level of review has been done in respect of those primary care centres which have actually come on stream? Are they carrying out their functions well and are there plans to take further pressure off hospitals directly?

In terms of the original plan, what percentage of what the Minister of State said she would deliver has been delivered at this stage? In Beaumont Hospital INMO members will work to rule on 16 December. It is very frightening. They are doing great work in a hospital which is hugely understaffed.
