I thank the Minister for his reply. I am glad to note he said this is a temporary setback. I wish to record my admiration for Dr. Prior and his colleagues who provide an excellent service in the health centre. Unfortunately, it is the responsibility of the HSE to ensure that the GP service is in place in Ballinagh. The situation has been ongoing for a number of weeks and it is causing significant difficulties for elderly people in particular and people with small children. The pharmacy is in danger of closing as a result of this decision. I urge the Minister to speak to the HSE to ensure that the GP service is provided immediately in the health centre.
