1407. To ask the Minister for Health his intentions for an out-of-hours facility (details supplied) in County Cork; the number of doctors currently on call; if any changes have recently taken place with regard to the normal operating hours of this facility; if there are any future plans to reduce this service; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

90% of the population have access to GP out-of-hours services in 14 centres nationally, in all HSE regions, in at least part of every county. Over 2,000 GPs provide services in the co-ops.

As the Deputy's question relates to a service matter, I have asked the HSE to respond to the Deputy directly on the issue.
