1458. To ask the Minister for Health if there are any plans to remove the DOC service from the Cottage Hospital in Drogheda, County Louth following recent cuts to the North East Doctor on Call Service, or will there be any reduction or scaling down of this service in the Cottage Hospital, Drogheda.

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.
