Adjournment Matters. - Health Centres.

 

The provision of primary health care centres, including the prioritisation of the development of such centres, to meet the needs of local communities is a matter for the relevant health board or the ERHA in line with funding available under the national development plan. In the case of the Mulhuddart area, responsibility rests with the ERHA. In the light of what the Senator said, I support the desire for appropriate infrastructural developments in an area. It is necessary to work hand in hand with the local authority, health service providers and other statutory operators to ensure the appropriate supports are in place.
