Clarification of Matters Relating to Meeting of 2 February 2016 (15 Jun 2017) Catherine Connolly: These are important figures because, to take the example of Galway again, I understand the Health Service Executive is paying €250,000 per annum to rent the building that houses the primary care centre recently opened on the east side of the city.

Clarification of Matters Relating to Meeting of 2 February 2016 (15 Jun 2017) Catherine Connolly: Okay. To return to policy, why is the HSE not building primary care centres as opposed to paying out money in rent, including a minimum of €250,000 in the case I mentioned?

Clarification of Matters Relating to Meeting of 2 February 2016 (15 Jun 2017) Catherine Connolly: I did not say anything about a PPP. I am referring to primary care centres. The simplest thing the HSE could do is provide me with a list of the primary care centres that have been rolled out, indicating whether the HSE owns them directly, whether they have been procured under a public private partnership and will eventually revert to the HSE or whether they are owned by private consultants...

Clarification of Matters Relating to Meeting of 2 February 2016 (15 Jun 2017) Catherine Connolly: Lovely. I have tabled parliamentary questions on a case involving physiotherapy services. I want the witnesses to respond specifically and generally to the example I will give. A person retired from or left a physiotherapy post in An Cheathrú Rua i gCroílár na Gaeltachta. We received a series of letters indicating the post would be filled in due course. Subsequently,...

Clarification of Matters Relating to Meeting of 2 February 2016 (15 Jun 2017) Catherine Connolly: Let me stick with this issue for a moment. For months, I received correspondence indicating the post would be filled. Approximately two weeks ago, I was told a decision had been made at national level not to fill the post as there was no money or resources available and that patients from Connemara could go into Galway city.

Clarification of Matters Relating to Meeting of 2 February 2016 (15 Jun 2017) Catherine Connolly: Let me ask a general question. When a post remains empty does a policy kick in whereby the post will no longer be filled and that is the end of the post? Is that a national policy?

Clarification of Matters Relating to Meeting of 2 February 2016 (15 Jun 2017) Catherine Connolly: That response is like reading something from Kafka, an author who is very difficult to read. A post in Connemara has disappeared and will not be filled. People have been told to travel to Galway city and I asked Mr. Mulvany whether there was a policy in place. He said there was if a post was not filled after a certain period of time.

Clarification of Matters Relating to Meeting of 2 February 2016 (15 Jun 2017) Catherine Connolly: No, I am still reading Kafka actually. Let us take the circumstances again. In a setting in Connemara in the heart of the Gaeltacht there is one physiotherapy post providing services to that area. The therapist leaves the post for some reason and it is decided the post will not be filled. Can the HSE stand over a decision like that?
