The HSE recently went to tender for primary care units in 100 different places, including Athlone. I understand from Mr. Brian Gilroy, who is the HSE's head of capital planning, that many expressions of interest have been received. I cannot give specific details of the expressions of interest for Athlone. I think a major programme of primary care centres will be rolled out over the next few months.
