Question 384: To ask the Minister for Health and Children her views on the development of a primary care centre; if she has authorised the sale of part of St. Finian's land; and if she envisages problems into the future regarding the provision of pharmacy services. [29302/08]

A proposal for the disposal of HSE lands at St. Finian's for the proposed primary care centre has not as yet been submitted to my Department.

Under the Health Act 2004, the management and delivery of health and personal social services is the responsibility of the Health Service Executive. This includes operational responsibility for the establishment of Primary Care Teams and Primary Care Centres. Accordingly, my Department has requested the Parliamentary Affairs Division of the Executive to arrange to have these matters investigated and to have a reply issued directly to the Deputy.
