It is clear that urgent remediation is required. It is welcome that the HSE intends to conduct the assessments and will be back within a couple of weeks. There is important additional good news for the area. The planned primary care centre in nearby Tubbercurry is due to commence building early next year, which is welcome. The existing primary and mental health care centre in Ballymote is to provide the majority of HSE primary services in the area. It is intended that this will allow for the reconfiguration and refurbishment of the Gurteen health centre for all of the very pressing reasons the Deputy has articulated today.
