Shane Moynihan (Dublin Mid West, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

Tá a fhios agam go gcuireann an Taoiseach dóchas sna ionaid sláinte cúraim phríomhúil faoi mar a chuirim féin. The constituency I represent, like Cork South-Central and Dublin Mid West, is one which has one of the most rapidly growing populations in the country and the need for these primary care centres is paramount. I am delighted to see progress in the acquisition and, hopefully, repurposing of Adamstown and Clondalkin primary care centres. I would encourage the Taoiseach to take up the matter with the Cabinet committee on health for the need to expedite progress on the north Clondalkin primary care centre and to look at the feasibility of the primary care centre in Lucan also.

We had a welcome announcement on the Citywest and Four Districts primary care centre a few weeks ago. This is the future for care in the community, which I know is a core aim of Sláintecare. I encourage the Taoiseach to take it up with the Cabinet committee on health.
