While I do not have a specific update on the primary care centre for Tullow or the minor injuries unit, I will ask the Minister, Deputy Stephen Donnelly, to revert to Deputy Murnane O'Connor. We want to see the primary care centre developed quickly because we know the role played by such centres all over the country in reducing pressure on the acute hospital system. My understanding is that that is a project to which we are committed. The sooner we can get it done, the better. As we know, costs tend to only go one way when delivering capital projects. I would be happy to work with the Deputy and the Minister to try to move it on.
