I also want to raise a serious situation in my own constituency, where construction work continues to be halted on a multimillion euro primary care centre in Ballyhaunis, County Mayo. Construction work was halted in early 2022. I have written to the senior HSE management in community healthcare west. Management outlined that it remains on hold as the landlord agrees costs to completion with the contractor and his subcontractors. This is totally unacceptable. This centre was due to be opened in early 2021. The community in Ballyhaunis requires essential services that these fantastic primary care centres provide and it is in no man's land with regard to when construction will recommence. I have written to the Minister about this matter. I ask him to intervene and provide reassurance to the people in Ballyhaunis that this primary care centre will go back into construction and that it can be fully completed.
