I propose to take Questions Nos. 84 and 90 together.

I welcome the recent publication of the Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health and Children Report on Primary Medical Care in the Community. The Report contains a wide range of recommendations in relation to the further development and the role of Primary Care Teams and Centres. My Department will consider the Report's recommendations in conjunction with the Health Service Executive and the Department of Finance and other relevant Government Departments.
